"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."

"Here is the projected lineup for the Hurricanes.

Forwards

Svechnikov-Aho-Fast
Niederreiter-Trocheck-Necas
Martinook-Staal-Foegele
Paquette-Lorentz-Geekie

Defensemen

Slavin-Hamilton
Skjei-Pesce
Gardiner-Bean

Goalies

Mrazek
Reimer

Scratch: Fleury, Nedeljkovic

Injury: McGinn (upper body), Teravainen (concussion symptoms; injured reserve)

Taxi squad: Keane, McCormick, Shore"

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?

      FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.

      That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?

      Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.
