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.
