Last Time Out: The Canes finally snapped a five-game winless streak on Saturday, earning a much-needed victory over the Calgary Flames. After enduring a streak of six consecutive games without a power play goal from November 12-23, the team recorded two goals on the man advantage for a second consecutive day in the contest. Including a late game-winner from Brett Pesce, it was second occasion of the campaign already where the team has produced two or more power play goals in back-to-back games. Antti Raanta, making his first start since suffering a lower-body earlier in the week, turned away 18 of 20 to record his fourth victory of the season.

Power Play Pesc: Carolina is now 4-0-0 all-time when Brett Pesce scores a power play goal. He has also earned a point on the man advantage in back-to-back games now and is already just one one point shy of matching his power play points total for the 2021-22 season.

Man Advantage Tex: Forward Stefan Noesen recorded an assist on Martin Necas' power play goal Saturday, also giving him a power play point in two consecutive games. His three goals on the man advantage this season have him tied with Necas and Andrei Svechnikov for the team lead.

500th Marty Party: Canes forward Jordan Martinook is expected to play in his 500th career NHL game tonight. He currently ranks tied for fifth on the team in points through 22 games. Drafted in the second round by Phoenix in 2012, he is set to become the 19th player from the draft class to reach the milestone.

Almost Turbo Time?: Forward Teuvo Teravainen traveled with the team to begin the first leg of their six-game road stint, inching closer to returning to the lineup. The 28-year-old winger suffered a non-concussion upper-body injury on November 10 in the team's win over Edmonton. After skating with Max Pacioretty prior to the team's practice last week, Teravainen returned to team practice Monday morning in a yellow non-contract jersey. Rod Brind'Amour said following the skate that he is hopeful #86 can play at some point on this trip.

On The Other Side: Pittsburgh enters tonight's bout as one of the hotter teams in the league, going 7-2-1 in their last 10. Forward Sidney Crosby leads the way with 29 points in 20 games on the year, including 12 points in his last six games. Forward Evgeni Malkin played in his 1,000th NHL game last Sunday against Chicago. Their 76 goals as a team ranks tied for seventh in the NHL.

CANES INJURY UPDATES

  • Forward Ondrej Kase has been in concussion protocol since October 13. There is currently no timetable for his return.
  • Goaltender Frederik Andersen suffered a lower-body injury on November 6. He skated with Goaltending Coach Paul Schonfelder Monday morning at Invisalign Arena. There is currently no timetable for his return.
  • Forward Teuvo Teravainen suffered an upper-body injury on November 10. He practiced with the team on Monday and is on the trip.
  • Forward Max Pacioretty suffered a torn Achilles tendon in August. He has been skating in recent weeks, but has yet to take part in a full team practice. There is currently no timetable for his return.

Lineup:

TT is out tonight and Coghlan is the healthy scratch as DeHaan continues to improve and get more comfortable in his role. Be nice to see the 4th line do something special tonight as the other 3 are gonna get a workout.

Drury - Stastny - Stepan

    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was. 
    • I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
