Last Game…
- The Canes erased a two-goal deficit in the third period on Saturday, but ultimately fell to the St. Louis Blues by a score of 4-3.
- Shayne Gostisbehere scored for a third consecutive game and Jack Roslovic started a streak for himself by scoring for the second game in a row.
- Pyotr Kochetkov took the loss in net, allowing four goals on 19 shots.
In Net…
- With Kochetkov playing on Saturday, it is expected that Frederik Andersen will take his turn in the scheduled rotation this evening.
- Andersen was fantastic in Pittsburgh on Friday, stopping 25 out of 26 shots faced for his first win of the season.
Spooky SZN…
- Gostisbehere’s power play goal on Saturday placed him in a tie for the most goals by an NHL defenseman thus far this season (3).
- His second power play goal already this season, it matches the two he had in 81 games with Detroit during the 2023-24 campaign. His career-high is eight, produced with Philadelphia (2015-16).
- The three-game goal streak matches the longest of Gostisbehere’s 11-year pro career.
Three-Game Runs…
- In addition to Gostisbehere, Sebastian Aho (1G, 3A), Seth Jarvis (1G, 2A), and Andrei Svechnikov (1G, 3A) all also have three-game point streaks entering tonight.
Milestone Watch…
- Jordan Martinook is two points shy of 200 NHL points.
- Martin Necas is two goals shy of 100 NHL/Hurricanes goals.
On The Other Side…
- The Oilers have had a frustrating start to the season after their June Stanley Cup appearance.
- With only an overtime win over Philadelphia and a victory over the winless Predators, defense and goaltending have been problematic for the group. Allowing an average of four goals per game, leading backstop Stuart Skinner is 1-3 with an .851 save percentage.
- On the other hand, Connor McDavid (6) and Leon Draisaitl (5) expectedly lead the offense in points through six games.
