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 Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
