Starting The Second Half Busy: The Canes begin the "second half" of their regular season schedule with a stretch of four road games in six days. After tonight in Toronto the team will continue on for a meeting in Ottawa tomorrow, Boston Thursday and then Minnesota Saturday. It's the beginning of 40 games in 80 days for the team, leading to the end of the campaign.

Let's Pick Up Where We Left Off: Carolina entered the break after earning four wins in six days. The team is 7-1 in their last eight outings.

Just Fine Away From Home: Rod Brind'Amour's club is 15-5-1 away from PNC Arena this season, matching the New York Rangers for the most wins on the road among any team in the NHL this season.

Maple Syrup For Neci: In three career games against the Maple Leafs, Hurricanes forward Martin Necas has recorded six points.

Kotkaniemi Out: Sunday afternoon the team announced that forward Jesperi Kotkaniemi has entered COVID-19 Protocol, rendering him out of commission for at least the team's games tonight and tomorrow. It will be the first games missed of the season for the 21-year-old center, who totaled 20 points in the club's first 42 games.

Tervainen TBD: Following practice Sunday afternoon Rod Brind'Amour said that Teuvo Teravainen could be a game-time decision tonight, still battling the lower-body injury he suffered on January 21. "Turbo" participated in practice at Wake Competition Center, but that doesn't necessarily mean he is for sure in tonight.

Milestone Watch: Antti Raanta is one win shy of 100 in his NHL career. Derek Stepan is two points shy of 500 for his NHL career.

Forwards:

Martinook - Aho - Necas

Svechnikov - Trocheck - Jarvis

Niederreiter - Staal - Fast

Lorentz - Stepan - Teravainen*

Defensemen:

Slavin - DeAngelo

Skjei - Pesce

Smith - Cole

Starting Goalie:

Andersen

COVID-19 Protocol:

Jesperi Kotkaniemi

Game-Time Decision:

Teuvo Teravainen (Lower-Body)

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
