The Hurricanes take on a struggling Montreal Canadians team tonight. The Canadians are 5-4-1 in their last 10 games, which is only one game better than Carolina. The Hurricanes will be getting Nic Wallin back in the lineup tonight and Jay Harrison will be a healthy scatch. The Hurricanes are coming off a 3-1 loss to the Rangers where they got a ton of chances, but could not put the puck past Lundquist.
Tonight the Hurricanes need to continue to click on the powerplay to beat the Canadians. The Hurricanes have the number one powerplay in the NHL in December and need it to continue to click if they are to beat Montreal tonight. If you remember the Hurricanes had a chance to put the Canadians away in Montreal with a four minute powerplay in overtime but failed to score. If the Hurricanes can score on the power play tonight they can come out with the two points. Also Cam Ward seems to finally be rounding into form after the injury. With a healthy Ward and a power play that can finally score the Hurricanes will have a better chance to win games. Tonight should be an interesting game.
