The Carolina Hurricanes head home tonight to take on the Dallas Stars. The Canes are still riding the high of what is arguably the best story in franchise history. Here’s how the Canes can continue riding the wave of David Ayres.

The Carolina Hurricanes have been the talk of the league the past few days.

Ever since they pummeled the Toronto Maple Leafs with Franchise Legend David Ayres in net, the Canes (Ayres, specifically) have been at the forefront of hockey media, and rightfully so.

That wave of attention and positivity followed them into the final day of the trade deadline.

The Carolina Hurricanes made some moves on deadline day, for the first time in what seems like forever.

Widely touted as the clear-cut ‘winners’ of deadline day, the Carolina Hurricanes made two of their three moves in the final 20 minutes of the trade deadline, with both trades not being officially announced until well after the deadline ended.

The Dallas Stars didn’t do much on deadline day, and for good reason. The Stars are a solid team, top to bottom, and have only lost two of their last six games since beating the Carolina Hurricanes 4-1 on February 11th.

The Carolina Hurricanes’ will certainly look different tonight, but that may not be a bad thing. Here are the Canes’ keys to snagging another two points in the standings tonight.
