The Carolina Hurricanes wrap up a 6-game road-trip with their 4th meeting versus the Dallas Stars tonight. The Canes, backstopped by Alex Nedeljkovic tonight, look to walk away with yet another two points and complete a second miniseries sweep courtesy of the Stars.
The Dallas Stars’ season so far has been a catastrophe; they’re currently sporting a record of 5-3-3, just barely good enough to keep them from being second to last in the new Discover Central Division. Losing Tyler Seguin and Ben Bishop to injury are definite factors in the Stars’ dismal start to the 2020-21 regular season; things are unlikely to turn around for them until these two get back on the ice full-time.

The Carolina Hurricanes are no stranger to injury this season either; having employed their full taxi squad at some points in the season, the Canes are just beginning to rebound from both injury and having players fully removed off the COVID protocol list and contributing on the ice again.
If the Canes can replicate past success against the Dallas Stars tonight, they’ll improve to 9-3-0 on the season, keeping them firmly planted among the top teams in the new Discover Central Division. A bit of caution, though: the Carolina Hurricanes’ 3 losses were all in the second game of these miniseries, giving tonight’s game an extra bit of spice. Here’s what I’d like to see from the Canes tonight in securing a victory.
