Last Game…
- The Canes picked up a third win in a row on Saturday with a rather controlling victory in Seattle.
- Andrei Svechnikov got the scoring started, moving the power play’s streak to five consecutive games with a goal, and things continued to snowball forward for Carolina from there. Jackson Blake earned his first NHL assist on a setup to Jack Drury in the second period and Seth Jarvis put the Kraken away with a third period breakaway goal. Dmitry Orlov would add an empty netter for good measure.
- The lone blemish on Frederik Andersen’s night was a third-period breakaway goal for Jared McCann.
In Net…
- With Andersen winning on Saturday, it is expected that Pyotr Kochetkov will take his turn in the scheduled rotation this evening.
- Kochetkov earned his second win of the season on Thursday in Calgary, stopping 30/32.
Go Fish…
- Sebastian Aho was held off the scoresheet on Saturday, snapping his five-game point streak.
- Despite the pointless night, Aho remains operating at a point-per-game pace, producing two goals and five assists in seven games this season.
Special Teams…
- In addition to their power play being 6-for-18 on the road trip, Carolina’s penalty kill has been fantastic too. Tim Gleason’s units are 17-for-18 with a man in the box.
- Entering Monday’s play, the Canes rank inside the top 10 in both power play (26.1% – 7th) and penalty kill (85.2% – 8th).
On The Other Side…
- The Canucks enter tonight winners of four in a row, taking down Florida, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Pittsburgh in the last 10 days.
- Allowing an average of just two goals in the four-game run, Kevin Lankinen has been stellar stepping into the lead role with Thatcher Demko injured. The team’s late-summer signing is 4-0-1 with a .930 save percentage to start his season.
- On offense, J.T. Miller, Brock Boeser, and Conor Garland all have seven points in seven games for the team.
