The Carolina Hurricanes return to action for the first time since before the All Star Break tonight against the Vegas Golden Knights. Here’s what the Canes need to do to continue their momentum from last week.
The Carolina Hurricanes are back!
Tonight’s matchup sees Marc-Andre Fleury and the Vegas Golden Knights head into Raleigh to take on newly returned Justin Williams and the Carolina Hurricanes.
Both teams haven’t played a game since 1/21, and both will be looking to hit the ground running tonight.
When we last saw the Canes, they were riding a two-game winning streak after downing both the Winnipeg Jets and the New York Islanders before heading into the mid-season All Star break.
As for the Golden Knights, they lost their last two before the break; a 3-2 heartbreaker against the Boston Bruins on the 21st, and an even more disappointing 5-4 loss to the Montreal Canadiens in a shootout on the 18th.
The Carolina Hurricanes have a ‘Golden’ opportunity here to continue where they left of, and start stringing wins together to take back a playoff spot with authority.
Tonight, the Canes have a veritable checklist of things they need to get done if they hope to wrestle yet another sorely-needed couple of points in the standings. Let’s get into it.
