The Carolina Hurricanes hit the road this evening as they head up to Missouri to take on the defending Stanley Cup Champions, the St. Louis Blues. Here’s what the Canes need to do to start a winning streak.

The Carolina Hurricanes can add a second consecutive win tonight if they can manage to topple the previously red-hot St. Louis Blues.

The St. Louis Blues lost in their last outing; a 5-2 decision that saw them steamrolled by the Winnipeg Jets. The loss to the Jets was their 2nd in a row, so the Blues will be looking to rebound at home tonight against the Canes.

The Carolina Hurricanes are coming off of a shootout win over the Vancouver Canucks on Super Bowl Sunday. The momentum from this win could very well carry over into tonight’s matchup.

The Blues currently sit at 5th in the league, and 1st in the Central Division as well as the Western Conference. Tonight’s tilt will not be an easily gained win; the Carolina Hurricanes have several points they need to hit if they want to walk away with a highly-coveted two points. Let’s take a look at what those things are, eh?
