The Carolina Hurricanes head to Dallas tonight to take on the Stars to end their current road trip. Here’s how the Canes can head back home two points richer.

The Carolina Hurricanes have won two of their last three games, all of which were on the road.

The Dallas Stars, on the other hand, have had just as much a roller coaster recently. Every other game, dating back to 1/27, has gone to OT for the Stars. Of these 4, the Stars have won 3. In total, however, the Dallas Stars have won 3 of their last 5; most recently a 3-2 overtime upset against the St. Louis Blues.

Tonight’s game is a hard one to peg. Both teams have plenty to prove, and plenty of talent in all areas on the ice. The teams are ‘tied’ in the standings with 67 points, with Dallas holding the tiebreaker by 2 ROW.

The Canes have their work cut out for them tonight. Ending a road trip is always tough, but ending one on a win is even tougher, especially against a competent opponent. Let’s take a look and see what the Canes need to do to end the road trip on a high note, and bring a couple more points back home.
