We got two wins in a row!  Let’s get to 3!  If we someone get 5 in a row, it will make up for last month. 
 

let’s go canes!

Last Time Out: Beginning a six-game stretch on the road Tuesday night in the Steel City, the Canes started their venture on the right foot. An early goal from Sidney Crosby put Carolina behind early, but middle period tallies from Martin Necas and Andrei Svechnikov flipped the game around. In the third it looked like the visitors would be able to ride out the game with the same 2-1 score, but Pittsburgh found success with the extra attacker on. Heading to overtime for the fifth time in their last seven games, Brett Pesce then put home a two-on-none with Andrei Svechnikov to give his team the win.

Big Time Brett: Tuesday's game-winning goal for Brett Pesce was his second in as many contests. Saturday afternoon at PNC Arena he scored a late power play goal, advancing Carolina past the Calgary Flames. #22 now has a three-game point streak, totaling four points on the run.

Heating Up: Speaking of three-game point streaks, Seth Jarvis, Stefan Noesen and Andrei Svechnikov all also join Pesce with at least one point in three consecutive contests.

Volume Shooting: The Hurricanes outshot the Penguins 39-32 on Tuesday, and they have now outshot their opponents in 19 of 23 games in 2022-23, including all 12 of their wins. Carolina has registered 35 or more shots in 13 games this season, tied for the third-most such outings of any NHL team behind only NJD and FLA (both with 17).

Small Movement: Wednesday afternoon the Canes acquired defenseman Zack Hayes from the Vegas Golden Knights. The 23-year-old was assigned to Chicago (AHL) after being acquired with hopes of assisting a young Wolves blue line. Brock Sheahan's squad is 5-9-2 to start the season, seventh in the Central Division.

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,  took part in Tuesday's morning skate and practiced again on Wednesday. Rod Brind'Amour has said that he is hopeful #86 can play at some point on this trip.

On The Other Side: After an eight-game losing streak in October into November, the Blues responded with a seven-game win streak to come back to earth. Since the run (which has since ended) started on November 10, St. Louis has scored 39 goals, tied for third-most in the NHL. What's marveling is that their 68% penalty kill during that time is 28th in the league. Jordan Kyrou has led the offense since the second week in November, publishing 14 points in 11 games.

Let’s get it!

[Anybodyhome]

Absolutely have to pummel Binnington with shots from everywhere. I'll take 40 shots tonight and the Canes put 4 on the board.

This is a very winnable game. 

And, if the Canes continue playing well, don't expect TT until it's necessary.

Martinook got caught watching the puck.

[Stumpy]

Stupid penalties beget stupid goals...

[Anybodyhome]

Nobody on the weak side.

[MillionDollarCam]

Someone needs to fake the dump in and throw a puck at the net, Binnington is leaving the net early.

[Anybodyhome]

Spending way too much time in their own end playing D. Got to get the cycle going and get some O-zone time.

[MillionDollarCam]

Binnington is in his bag tonight. I usually complain that our shots are quantity over quality, but we’ve had five or so Grade A’s that Binnington has saved.

Screen or not, that has to be a save…
