The Carolina Hurricanes are eager to stay hot on their four game home stand, and will look to capture their sixth straight win as they host the Nashville Predators for the first time this season.

Heading into the first home game against the Predators, the Carolina Hurricanes are sitting at 2nd in the top-heavy Central Division with a record of 17-6-1 (5-0-0 in last five). Nashville is currently on the outside looking in, sitting in 6th with a record of 11-14-0 (2-3-0 in last five).
