"DALLAS - The third and final leg of a six-game road trip brings the Carolina Hurricanes to Dallas to face off against the Stars on back-to-back nights.


The Match-Up

Carolina Hurricanes (31-10-6, 68 points) at Dallas Stars (20-15-12, 52 points)

Monday, April 26, 7:30 p.m.

Watch: NBCSN

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


Numbers to Know

600: Dougie Hamilton is set to play in his 600th career NHL game, and he'll become the 13th defenseman in franchise history to do so. Hamilton netted two goals against Florida on Saturday and has recorded 28 points (7g, 21a) in his last 28 games.

1: The Canes are a point away from clinching a berth in the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs.


The Opposition

Last five games: 4-0-1, 9 points
At home: 12-6-8, 32 points
CAR vs. DAL: 5-1-0
Leading scorer: Joe Pavelski, 43 points (20g, 23a) in 47 games

The Stars are creeping up the standings in search of the fourth seed in the Central Division. After firing a season-high 52 shots on Jonathan Bernier, Dallas outlasted the Red Wings for a 2-1 overtime win on Saturday night to draw closer to Nashville in the standings. The Stars, who are 7-1-2 in their last 10 games, sit just two points out of fourth place with two games in hand on the Predators."

Wait I am super confused. Bean is out there? But all our normals + Ryan is too? I am so confused. 
 

Was Kenny Albert just messing names up? I could have sworn I saw 33 out there too. 
 

I guess we are rolling with 9 defensemen?

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
