24 hours after a much needed win, the Carolina Hurricanes are back at it, with some new life. Here is who needs to step up again today.
The Carolina Hurricanes finally got their win, but no time to rest or celebrate as they play again today at 1:30 pm!
It’s unfortunate that the Canes let the Islanders get away with a point in a hot divisional matchup, but the Canes still have 1-3 games in hand on every team in the Metro.
Hopefully this win is a stepping stone and the Canes build off of it today. This will be the first meeting between the Canes and the Pens. While the Canes finally got their much needed win, the Pens after the trade deadline have not looked like the same team as before. Is there a chance? Yes, and here is why.
Carolina Hurricanes Fantasy Picks
Since the Dougie injury Haydn has stepped up immensely. He has looked like and played like a top 4 D man for the Canes. His confidence is skyrocketing and his defensive skills are sharp. He now has 2 points in the last 3 games and 12 points on the year. It’s time for Haydn to shine and he is a great pick to get you some points on fantasy as well!
While the picture above is from Trocheck’s game winning OT goal, and first goal as a Cane, just take a second to appreciate Aho. How can you not love that kid.
But on a serious note, Trochecks first goal as a Canes came at the absolute perfect time. He has clearly been meshing well with the guys, and has been a pest on the ice. The first goal fell now we should be able to expect a lot more out of the new guy.
Svechnikov should never really have come out of your fantasy line up. But if you moved him to the bench because he was cold for the last few games, time to put him back in.
2 assists yesterday, 60 points on the year, never get rid of Svechnikov. He’s not one to lay down and give in. He is going to fight till the last siren and he will produce. Some new life was put in to the Canes yesterday and Svechnikov will take full advantage of this and go off today, bank on it.
Canes Playoff Push
With 3 games in hand on Columbus and only 2 points out of WC2 there are really only two games that matter today, honestly with equal importance:
Canes > Pens
Canucks > Blue Jackets

Pitt might be favored but with the Canes finally finding that much needed win, they are dangerous. Time to get some money back from the last week or so. Canes get this one in Regulation 4-2.
