Canes vs Ducks

Recommended Posts

Last Time Out: The Canes arrived in California already having started their road trip with two wins and Saturday night they made it a third. Brady Skjei scored just 4:01 in for the visitors and Martin Necas doubled the team's lead before the end of the first. Sebastian Aho made it 3-0 in the second and thanks to some more quality goaltending from Pyotr Kochetkov, Carolina was able to withstand a third period push by the Kings. Andrei Svechnikov added a fourth goal for Rod Brind'Amour's club and the team was able to close out a 4-2 victory from there.

Turbo Is Back: Another victory within the team's victory was the return of forward Teuvo Teravainen. After missing 10 games due to an upper-body injury, #86 played 15:47 in his return, registering two shots, one block and one takeaway. Prior to his injury he had produced four assists in four games.

Cookin' On The Power Play: Martin Necas' 12th goal of the year on Saturday came on the power play, at the time improving Carolina's run to six for their last 14. They've now published a power play goal in four of their last five games.

Hot Hand In Net: Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 31 of 33 shots faced in net at Cyrpto.com Arena, earning his fifth win of the season. He has now won each of his last three games played (11/29-12/3), marking the longest win streak by any Canes netminder this season, and he has posted a .934 save percentage over that stretch, with 71 saves on 76 shots. Kochetkov has allowed two or fewer goals in six of his nine appearances this season, and in seven of his eight career wins. Saturday's game marked just his 10th career NHL/Hurricanes start, and his eight wins are the most in franchise history through any goaltender's first 10 career starts. Only six netminders in league history have posted nine wins through their first 10 starts, and only three this century: Martin Prusek (OTT, 2002-03), Viktor Fasth (ANA, 2013) and Igor Shesterkin (NYR, 2020).

On A Run: Seth Jarvis extended his season-long point streak to five games in the win over the Kings, recording an assist on Sebastian Aho's second period goal. Martin Necas follows right behind him with at least one point in his last four outings.

On The Other Side: The Ducks have struggled to start their season, currently touting a league-low 15 points in the standings. They've the only theam in the NHL allowing an average of over four goals per game and only four teams have scored fewer goals than them. Their penalty kill sits last at just 65.6% and their power play ranks 30th at just a 16.0% success rate. The core of their roster remains very young, as Troy Terry (26) and Trevor Zegras (22) lead the team in points through 26 games.

I know it shouldn't, but this scares me...

    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies     
    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
    • 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!
