"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?

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
