[CarolinaPanthers8789]

What: Carolina Hurricanes @ Montreal Canadians

When: 7:30 P.M.

Where: Bell Centre (Montreal, Quebec)

Last 10: Car: 7-3, Mtl: 3-6-1

 

The Canes are on the road tonight taking on the Canadians who have been struggling mightily of late and are on a four game losing streak as where the Canes are on a four game winning streak. 

 

There is no word on who is starting in net tonight, coming off a back to back; it's very possible that Justin Peters will get the start.

 

With a win tonight, Carolina would tie the Rangers for second in the division.

I think I have the right line-up's for the teams so far...

 

I believe Prust will be on the left wing for Montreal because Leblanc was just sent down an hour ago, as far as the Montreal defense is up in the air; so I could be totally wrong about the way they are lined up.

 

Regarding the Canes, Dvorak moved up to the third line and Bowman moved down to the fourth last night during the game but I think Muller will start with what has been working for the guys.

 

There is still no news regarding who will start in goal for Carolina.

Well it appears that all good things must come to an end.

Canes now hold the final wild card spot.
