Canes vs penguins.

[Panthers Fan 69]

Let’s get two in a row and go on a win streak. 

[Anybodyhome]

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.

Welcome back!  Is rod going back to our lines that struggled?

I followed on my phone during the break, unfortunately I didn’t get to control the TV while I was out of town. I was reading that the line combos were different while I was away.

Nice pass by Chatfield there to Stepan which resulted in a penalty on Titsburgh.

[MillionDollarCam]

That’s one Kochetkov would like to have back, he was too deep in his net.

[Panthers Fan 69]

Koochie with a softie. 

[Anybodyhome]

Kochetkov gives up a grade school softie.

Geez....

Thank the heavens that Rakell’s lacrosse goal didn’t go in, I don’t want to see us all over the tube tonight unless we win.

Don’t think that was offside at all…

So blatant cross checks aren’t being called tonight… good to know.

[MillionDollarCam]

That was slick by Skjei, if intentional, Staal needs to bury that.

[Anybodyhome]

Not getting any offensive zone time. One play or shot and out.

Tripp was right, Pens are all sagging deep to the net- high slot is available.
