"Now sitting atop the Central Division, the Carolina Hurricanes continue their longest homestand of the season with a two-game set against the Detroit Red Wings.


The Match-Up

Detroit Red Wings (13-23-6, 32 points) vs. Carolina Hurricanes (27-9-3, 57 points)

Saturday, April 10, 7 p.m.

Watch: Bally Sports South, FOX Sports GO

Listen: 99.9 FM The Fan, Hurricanes.com/Listen, Hurricanes app


Numbers to Know

12: Vincent Trocheck has recorded at least a point in each of the last 12 games he's played (7g, 10a). Despite playing in only 30 of the Canes' 39 games this season, Trocheck ranks second on the team in points (33), tied for first on the team in goals (16), and first on the team in both power-play points (16) and power-play goals (7).

6: Alex Nedeljkovic recorded a 24-save shutout, his third clean sheet of the season, on Thursday against the Panthers. As a team, the Canes have recorded six shutouts this season, which ranks tied for first place in the NHL with the New York Islanders.

3-for-8: After being held without a goal on the man advantage for four straight games, the Canes have converted 37.5% of their powe play chances (3-for-8) in the last two games.


The Opposition

Last five games: 1-2-2, 4 points
On the road: 4-14-2, 10 points
CAR vs. DET: 3-2-0
Leading scorer: Filip Hronek, 22 points (2g, 20a) in 42 games

The Red Wings arrive in Raleigh on the heels of a 7-1 defeat at the hands of the red-hot Nashville Predators. Bobby Ryan, who totaled 14 points (7g, 7a) in 33 games, has not played since March 28 and will miss the remainder of the season with an upper-body injury. On Friday, Detroit traded defenseman Patrik Nemeth to Colorado in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft."

Looks like they are trying to get Gardiner some game time. Does anyone know how many more games Ned needs for RFA? I lost track.

I'd be tempted to drop Dougie into the second line, move Bean up and drop Pesce to Jake's line just to give some assistance to Jake in his comeback game.

I also believe Dougie makes some bad decisions based upon his line-mate in Slavin. Put him on a line where he has to make better decisions and help out a less-experienced player in Bean and maybe he shows us why he should get $8M a season?

So Skjei-Slavin, Dougie-Bean, Gardiner-Pesce?

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
