Question is how many injured are we going to hold out? Fast was a non-skate(maintenance day) yesterday. Jalen questionable. Svech got sliced(or so I heard). Not the stretch to catch the injury bug. Got to make it through the next two-three weeks against all playoff teams minus one game.

Last Time Out: The Canes scored just 2:09 in on Thursday night against the Flyers and after scoring 16 goals in their previous three games, it felt like the offense would be off to the races once again. Instead, the game became a duel between goaltenders Pyotr Kochetkov and Felix Sandstrom. Carolina's first shot of the night was the only one that would get by Sandstrom and Kochetkov went 19/19, earning the Canes a 1-0 shutout victory.

See You Tonight: Carolina will not hold a morning skate today. Any information regarding tonight's lineup will come from Rod Brind'Amour at approximately 4:45 p.m.

Welcome Back, "PK": Pyotr Kochetkov's shutout came just one day after being recalled from the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League. It was his fourth perfect game of the season, now tying him for second among all NHL goaltenders. In fact, no other NHL rookie netminder has more than one. All four of his shutouts have come over his last 18 starts.

Finally Puljujarvi's Debut Day?: After practicing with the club on Friday for the first time, newcomer Jesse Puljujarvi could make his highly-anticipated team debut tonight. After working alongside Paul Stastny and Stefan Noesen, Puljujarvi also took some reps on the power play in the net-front role. Standing at 6'4", 201 lbs., the right-handed shot was acquired last week from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for unsigned prospect Patrik Puistola.  Rod Brind'Amour said he will play this weekend, but didn't commit to saying whether it would be tonight against Vegas or Sunday in New Jersey.

Crazy 8: Brent Burns tallied a power-play assist on Carolina's only goal on Thursday, giving him a team-high 22 points in his last 19 games. He has now registered 51 points (12g, 39a) in 2022-23, tied with Tony DeAngelo (2021-22: 10g, 41a) for the most points by any Hurricanes defenseman in a single season and the ninth-most by any blueliner in a single campaign in franchise history. With a team-high 39 assists, Burns is one assist shy of joining DeAngelo and Joni Pitkanen (2009-10: 40) as just the third defenseman in team history (since relocation) to register 40 assists in a season.

Between The Pipes: Both Don Waddell and Rod Brind'Amour alike have referenced their desires to keep players fresh as the Stanley Cup Playoffs approach, including avoiding goaltenders playing in consecutive games. This would mean that Frederik Andersen is in line to start tonight, #31 stopped 13 out of 14 and then 5/6 in the shootout Tuesday night in Montreal after entering in relief.

Get On Them Early: The Canes have scored first a league-leading 41 games this season. They're 33-4-4 when they score first, tied with the Bruins for the most wins in the NHL when striking first.

The Impact Of A Ghost: Since Shayne Gostisbehere made his team debut last Friday, the Canes power play is 9/15.

Think Fast: Forward Martin Necas has 13 points in his last 10 games.

On The Other Side: Vegas comes to Raleigh for the only time this season having earned points in eight of their last 10 games. Much like how Carolina has New Jersey on their tails for the Metropolitan Division lead, the Golden Knights have the Los Angeles Kings chasing them down in the Pacific. Jack Eichel has been leading the way offensively for the club since the All-Star break, posting 16 points in 14 games. In net, Jonathan Quick is 2-0 after coming over in a trade from the Columbus Blue Jackets last week.

    • I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too! 
    • Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.
    • Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
