What: Carolina Hurricanes @ Toronto Maple Leafs
When: 7:00 P.M.
Where: Air Canada Centre (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)

It's been said that in order to make the playoffs, a team must gain six points in the standings for every five games they play.

The Hurricanes recorded exactly six points in their first five games. However they currently only have one point going into the third game of their second five. In order to keep pace in the standings (mainly with Pittsburgh; who could easily run away with the Metropolitan Division), the Canes need to at least get a point in tonight's game.

It will be difficult for the Canes to get a result tonight as Toronto is one of the hottest teams in the NHL, but Carolina tends to play well against the Leafs.

Here is to a Canes win tonight!!!

Line-Up

Tuomo Ruutu - Eric Staal - Alexander Semin
Nathan Gerbe - Jordan Staal - Jiri Tlusty
Jeff Skinner - Riley Nash - Radek Dvorak
Drayson Bowman - Patrick Dwyer - Kevin Westgarth

Andrej Sekera - Justin Faulk
Brett Bellemore - Ron Hainsey
Jay Harrison - Ryan Murphy

Cam Ward
Justin Peters

Scratched: Brett Sutter, Mike Komisarek
Injured: Elias Lindholm, Tim Gleason, Anton Khudobin, Joni Pitkanen (season ending IR)

What's the timetable for Lindholm's return?

 

Muller said they expect to get Lindholm back against the Islanders (10/19, this Saturday) and expect Gleason to be back (10/24, next Thursday).

 

Muller also said that he expects Komisarek to get some playing time soon, they are just waiting for him to get his confidence back up through practice.

 

Finally, there isn't any new news on Khudobin but a pretty reliable source on a a website I use said that they expect Khudobin to be out two to three weeks. If this info is true, this would put him back at the earliest against the Penguins (10/28, Monday) or at the latest against the Flyers (11/5, Tuesday).

      Bryce Slinging Dots Downfield

      By CPF4LIFE · Posted

      Those TDs passes you saw Sunday is what I think you will see bryce at his best. Those touch passes he can lob to receivers over the defenders heads. Long as receivers can get significant separation and bryce does overthrow those passes which we seem him do a lot. He is never gonna be a guy that can throw a laser into a receivers chest with a defender draped on him downfield unless its short pass or within a couple feet from the endzone.

      Dream scenario for ending out the season

      By strato · Posted

      If teams play us honestly and take that deep stuff away we may be able to operate good enough underneath to counter that. It is about time we started trying to force them to respect it.    But I think people should enjoy the win for two weeks because what’s in front of us doesn’t scream playoffs to me. It would be shocking if we swept TB. They aren’t Atlanta.  And even if we sweep there can be no let down.    I saw the stat of our record coming off a loss. Pretty good. What would it be coming off a win lol? Without looking, it has to at least be pretty upside down  (I count it to be 2-4).

      Win the division from Bucs........BY implodes in the playoff worse than Delhomme and we finally get rid of BY as our QB. Get ready for 2026 with momentum for once.
