Canes Flyers 7pm

[Panthers Fan 69]

Time to get back in the W column. 
 

IMO we need a goalie change, a defensive shake up, and Jack Drury.

Get Pucks On (And Through): In addition to their penalty kill, one area that the Islanders really excelled in Friday was blocking shots. They were credited with 28 over the course of 60 minutes. Tonight the Canes will be tasked with finding more lanes, specifically from the blue line, if they want to have success.

1100 & Some History For Staal: Carolina Captain Jordan Staal will play in his 1100th NHL game tonight. He is set to become just the third member of the 2006 draft class to reach the milestone, joining Phil Kessel and Milan Lucic. This evening will also be the 669th game of Staal's career with the Canes, passing Cam Ward for the fourth-most since the franchise relocated to Raleigh.

Shooting Star: Despite being held off the scoresheet in Friday night's defeat, Andrei Svechnikov's seven goals this season remain tied for second league-wide. Only Connor McDavid (8) has more.

Strong In The Dot: Paul Stastny started the season playing on the left wing of Staal and Jesper Fast. He's since moved to centering a line that also features Derek Stepan and Stefan Noesen. Since being back in the middle he's won 70.8% of his faceoffs, tops among all NHL centers that have taken at least 20 draws.

Give Me That: Defenseman Jaccob Slavin has 13 takeaways through seven games this year, tied for second in the NHL. Since the start of the 2015-16 season, his rookie year, no defenseman in the league has more (492).

Injury Report: Defenseman Calvin de Haan (day-to-day) has not played in either of the team's last two games. Forward Ondrej Kase remains out of the lineup and in concussion protocol since October 13.

On The Other Side: Under the guidance of new Head Coach John Torterella, Tony DeAngelo and the Philadelphia Flyers have had a hot start to their season. They've allowed just 17 goals in seven games and starting netminder Carter Hart has registered a save percentage of .947 in his five starts. Forward Kevin Hayes leads the group with 10 points in seven contests. Defenseman Ivan Provorov ranks third in the NHL with his 29 blocked shots.

Great defensive play early by Chatfield. 

Very nice goal from Staal in his 1100th game!

1-0 Canes.

[Anybodyhome]

Flyers PP looks really good. Guy whiffed on an open net, otherwise it's 1-1.

[Anybodyhome]

Guess no one is on the board this evening..

I'll check in later.

[Harbingers]

I’m liking what I’m seeing a lot more than last night but there is a lot of room for improvement. Good to see another line getting active for once. 

[USDepartmentOfSavagery]

It would be very concerning if we came out looking bad again tonight. Happy to see us be more assertive and look like a playoff team. 

[Anybodyhome]

Good 1st period. Philly not afraid to scrap so the Canes gotta stay outta the box. 

Philly PP could be potent.

Staal & Martinook with goals.

Burns is ass

[Panthers Fan 69]

It’s time to bench burns.    fug this bum. 

[Panthers Fan 69]

Burns doesn’t fit what we need on this team. This was a bad trade.  Burns IS NOT a rod player. I want his ass off the team.

Hate to break it to you but Burns is total ass under Rod. Doesn’t play defense at all. Turns it over.  Canes aren’t a good hockey team. I’m definitely not impressed.
