No Bally TV tonite as the Canes are on national TV (ESPN+ or HULU).

Last Time Out: Despite a third period go-ahead goal by Jordan Staal with just 3:48 remaining, Dylan Larkin had a response for Detroit just 35 seconds later, forcing overtime. Although Lucas Raymond scored on the power play with just eight seconds to go in the extra frame, Antti Raanta was remarkable for Carolina all evening long. The Finnish netminder made 37 stops, his most in any outing since joining the team.

Ten For Turbo: Teuvo Teravainen moved his current point streak to nine games in the contest against the Red Wings, now recording 12 points since February 10 in Boston. It is the longest point streak by any Hurricane this season.

At Home On The Road: Carolina enters tonight's contest 18-7-3 on the road. The 18 wins away from home are tied with Pittsburgh for the most by any team in the NHL.

Trouble In The Capital: Washington enters tonight having lost three in a row and six in a row at home. Columbus is now just eight points behind them for the fourth spot in the Metropolitan Division, and also has a game in hand.

100 For Quickie: Jesper Fast is set to play in his 100th game as a member of the organization tonight. Signed to a three-year contract in October of 2020, the right-handed winger also enters tonight with points in four of his last five games.

Down The Middle: Sebastian Aho and Vincent Trocheck both enter this evening with more than a point-per-game in their careers against Washington. #20 has 18 points in 17 meetings and "Tro" enters with 17 points in 15 contests.

Good On The Front Nine: The Canes begin a back-to-back tonight, with a matchup against the Penguins on Friday looming. Through eight sets of two games in two nights, Carolina is 6-1-1 thus far this season in the opening affair.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Milestone Watch:  Derek Stepan is one point shy of 500 for his NHL career.

No line-ups as I'm posting this. I'm on the road this afternoon and not sure if I'll be able to catch the game tonite.

      Bryce Slinging Dots Downfield

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I get it, but it's just like "dropping dimes" doesn't have a definition either but is saying the same thing. They're like what the Supreme Court said about Porn, "you know it when you see it" And I think you have to be watching with some crazy ridiculous Bryce goggles to think he was "slinging dots downfield" as the OP said.  I'm not taking anything away from Bryce for making the necessary throw in those situations and got two TDs on two 4th down plays.   But they weren't "sligning dots downfield" and they weren't "dropping dimes", they were pretty basic throws for any NFL QB, not even starting QB, just any QB.  They were 15-20 yard touch throws for the WR to run under it, with no safety over the top of them or need to let them get down in bounds.  They were in essence practice throws with no DB covering them, just in a high pressure game situation. 100% perfect throws for what was needed, which in itself is a credit to Bryce as he's struggled with that on easy throws in the past.  And hell, this literally might have been his best game of his career all things considered. But "slinging dots downfield" is just an absurd statement to say after today, sorry.

      Bryce Slinging Dots Downfield

      Idk, but I was just scrolling shorts and this video popped up calling the Tmac pass an “absolute dot” so, unless this is you, it seems like it might meet more people’s definition of “dot” than he thinks. Anybody crashing out over calling these passes “dots” really can’t be taken seriously on any Bryce Young related topic because he clearly affects their ability to think straight.
