I'll be at the game tonight!

The Wings give the Canes fits, it doesn't matter how much of a down season the Detroit crew is having. The fact is they have a lot of young talent and will continue to improve. The matchups just give Carolina problems, may RBA has a solution and will juggle a couple lines.... let's see, shall we?

Kotkaniemi is back in the lineup tonight.

Last Time Out: The Canes came out of the gate slow against the Rangers on Tuesday, eventually falling behind 1-0 early in the second. After they found themselves on the wrong side of the score they got to their game though, tying the contest before the end of two and ringing off for three in the third. Winning by a score of 4-2, Frederik Andersen made 28 stops on 30 shots to earn a share of the league-lead with his now 35 wins. Sebastian Aho paved the way offensively, factoring in on three of the goals.

Aho's Trio: With a goal and two assists on Tuesday, the three-point performance was the fifth of the season for Aho. Already leading the team with his 34 goals, #20 jumped back overtop Teuvo Teravainen for the lead in assists as well, now with 41 on the season. It is the second time in Aho's career that he's hit the 40-helper mark and with 75 points and eight games remaining, the team's top line center is just eight points shy of matching his career high (83).

The Captain's Heater: Jordan Staal also pitched in with a goal in Tuesday's win over the Rangers, following up his hat trick Sunday against Anaheim. With a multi-goal performance last Thursday against Buffalo, #11 now has six goals in his last four games. Since March 1, the last time these two teams met, Staal's nine goals trail only Aho, who was 11 during that span. 

Freddie Money: With his win (which came in head-to-head fashion against fellow Vezina candidate Igor Shesterkin) on Tuesday, Andersen maintained his league-best 2.07 goals against average (GAA). His 35 wins sit only behind Juuse Saros of Nashville and his .926 save percentage (SV%) trails only Shesterkin and Darcy Kuemper of Colorado.

A Chance To The Right The Ship: The man advantage has been cited by players and coaches alike as an area that has room for improvement before playoff time. Since March 1 the Carolina power play is operating at just a 15.8% clip, ranking 27th out of 32. The good news is they'll have an opportunity tonight against a Red Wings penalty kill that ranks second worst in the NHL since March 1, denying just 67.8% of attempts. Watch for Carolina's units to have urgency and execution this evening.

Need A Helper?: Jaccob Slavin and Tony DeAngelo are creeping their way up some franchise history lists, both sitting third and fourth right now for assists by a defenseman in a single season. DeAngelo (37) and Slavin (35) sit only behind Frantisek Kaberle (38) and Joni Pitkanen (40).

Getting Down To The End: After tonight the Canes have just two home regular season games remaining.

A Look At The Other Side: Detroit has won just two out of their last ten games and are 4-11-4 since they lest met Carolina. During that span they've allowed a league-high 4.53 goals per game and allowed 36.2 shots per night. Former Hurricane Alex Nedeljkovic is now 18-21-9 with a .900 save percentage (SV%) and a 3.34 goals against average (GAA). On a lighter note, Moritz Seider continues to build a strong case for Rookie of the Year, totaling 46 points in 73 games while averaging a team-high 23:09 per night.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Milestones Within Reach: Max Domi's first goal with the Canes will be his 100th of his NHL career. Teuvo Teravainen is two goals shy of 100 as a member of the team.

What Are We Wearing?: The Canes will be wearing their red sweaters tonight.

Forwards:

Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis

Domi - Trocheck - Teravainen

Niederreiter - Staal - Fast

Martinook - Kotkaniemi - Necas

Defensemen:

Slavin - DeAngelo

Skjei - Pesce

Detroit has been playing pretty badly over the last 10 something like 2-5-3 or something but we can’t let them trap us tonight. Need to be feeling strong going into Denver Saturday. I’d like to see us ending the season with at least a 7-x-x(3 split between either) record.

That was something close to what I was thinking. The rangers have a tougher schedule to end with. We have it pretty easy to say the least.

Damn, I hope we win Saturday.

I live in Denver and bought my ticket in roughly November.

You missed an important milestone a win tonight would give us 106 Points this season the most in Hurricanes history.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
