Canes v. Columbus 5PM Puck Drop

[Anybodyhome]

Canes Record: 11-8-0 (22 Points, T-2nd, Metropolitan Division)

Canes Last Game: 8-2 Loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday, November 24

Blue Jackets Record: 6-11-4 (16 Points, 8th, Metropolitan Division)

Blue Jackets Last Game: 2-1 Win over the New Jersey Devils on Friday, November 24

Last Time Out

• The Canes played "their best period of the season" to start Friday night against Tampa Bay. Then they gave up eight goals over the final 40 minutes. Three power play goals in three tries in just 4:20 spun the contest in favor of the Lightning during the second period, and then they put on a five-goal clinic in the third. Antti Raanta suffered the loss, allowing eight goals on 14 shots.

Discipline Woes

• After a rocky start to their season on the penalty kill, Carolina entered Friday's game 27 for their last 30 (90%) over their previous 11 games. Against the Lightning, they went just 1/5. Andrei Svechnikov has taken a penalty in seven consecutive games.

Bunting's Production

• Forward Michael Bunting had his third multi-point game of the season Friday night against Tampa Bay.  He also has seven points in six career games against Columbus.

In Net

• After Raanta went the whole way in the loss to the Bolts, it is expected that Pyotr Kochetkov will take his turn in the rotation against the Blue Jackets. The 24-year-old played 40 minutes in relief against Edmonton on Wednesday, stopping 13 of 15.

Hurricanes projected lineup

Teuvo Teravainen -- Sebastian Aho -- Seth Jarvis

Andrei Svechnikov -- Jesper Kotkaniemi – Martin Necas

Jordan Martinook -- Jordan Staal -- Jesper Fast

Michael Bunting -- Jack Drury -- Stefan Noesen

Jaccob Slavin -- Brent Burns

Brady Skjei -- Brett Pesce

Dmitry Orlov -- Jalen Chatfield

Pyotr Kochetkov

Need to bounce back here with a convincing W and 3 good periods. Last game was rough so need to see how the boys respond. A string of bad games and I’ll be starting to wonder a bit if Rod has lost the room

Little change up I see. Hopeful for a win tonight!

110 like always!  Let’s get us a big win. If this team is going to make the playoffs either it finally becomes Koochies team or we have to make a trade.

Rod confirms Pyotr is starting.

I believe we will win tonight.

Rod almost looks concerned in the Tripp interview. 

[Harbingers]

Alright Pyotr. Do us a solid tonight.

Why I’m saying Necas needs to be dropped to 4.

I got it on the Bally app. Dunno why it wouldn’t be on the Bally channel.

What I meant is I dunno why it wouldn’t be on the regular channel/service you use.
