ST. LOUIS – The Carolina Hurricanes will try to pick up their second win in as many nights on Saturday as they take on the St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center.

Carolina looked dominant in Pittsburgh on Friday, completely shutting down both Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin en route to a 4-1 victory.

Jackson Blake and Shayne Gostisbehere both scored for a second consecutive game for Carolina, while Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Martin Necas led the way with a pair of points.

Historically, the Canes do not change their lines under 24 hours after a securing a win of that fashion, leading us to believe that they’ll roll with the same formation of skaters this evening.

Frederik Andersen was last night’s victor in net, stopping 25 out of 26 shots faced. That means that the Canes are likely to turn to Pyotr Kochetkov for their second game of the road trip.

Kochetkov was fantastic in both of his preseason starts, allowing just one goal in both of his wins. He kept that momentum going in his first regular-season start on Tuesday when he turned away 24 of 26 from the New Jersey Devils.
