Game Notes

Congratulations to Brent Burns — when he steps out onto the ice tonight, he’ll be doing it in his 1,300th NHL game. That puts him third in the league for active skaters, behind Eric Staal, Ryan Suter, and Alex Ovechkin.

Martin Necas has been the overtime hero for the Hurricanes in two straight games, but can he do it against the Bruins if needed? He’s shockingly only faced them three times in the regular season in his career, recording one assist.

This is the second of three meetings between the Hurricanes and Bruins this season. Their previous meeting was in November, with the Hurricanes losing 3-2 in overtime.

Watch out for those third periods. The Bruins have 73 third period goals, which leads the NHL. They also allow just 31 goals in the third, which stands for the fewest in the league.

Three Hurricanes players have active scoring streaks: Brent Burns (points in four straight), Sebastian Aho (goals in three straight), and Martin Necas (goals in two straight).

For the Bruins lineup, keep an eye on Trent Frederic. He left yesterday’s game in the first period with a lower-body injury and did not return.

The Bruins are also missing Jake DeBrusk and Tomas Nosek, both of whom are out with lower-body injuries.

      Bust alert - Eight NFL players running out of time to prove themselves entering 2026 season

      By strato · Posted

      I think it is a perspective thing.   For Bryce, have people forgotten how utterly horrible he was into year two?  I think some have.   I am not a numbers guy but I hear tell that his numbers were historically poor.   He was incrementally better 2nd half of year two and that takes you to 2025.  He had  actual acceptable performances at times in 2025. Which is a whole lot better than historically bad but not necessarily even league average when you can’t cherry pick just those good days.     I don’t know what about CJ. At this point I’d have to say I would be very concerned about him because it may now be in his head.   I still think CJ is the better QB but maybe not if he can’t put the dysfunction behind him.

      The thing is, Stroud's needle has been moving down where Young's has been moving up. Situationally, most would give the nod to Stroud over each of their tenures, so overall most are going to be more critical of him at the moment.

      Run Threat Rate -- is this good?

      By TD alt · Posted

      Actually we like to run more than most, and the dropoff isn't that drastic. We seem to be pretty much middle of the road. The Facons, Bucs, Browns and Bengals are the ones where running drops off markedly when they start trailing. Our line on the chart, like I said, is somewhat middle of the road.  As to whether or not if it's good or bad is anyone's guess by looking at this. I suspect people who like Old school football won't be upset at this at all. The thing is, we would have to know the game scripts and the situations, as running and or passing making sense is contextual. I know that I haven't necessarily been enamored with Canales's situational play calling. At the end of the day, I believe in using the run to set up the pass and the pass to set up the run, and trying to keep the opposition off balance, but I still believe that you should run it down their throats if they can't stop it.
