The Carolina Hurricanes will look to bounce back from a 6-4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche as they face off against the Vegas Golden Knights (9-3-2) tonight.
Carolina blew two different second-period leads and allowed five goals in the middle frame to see their eight-game winning streak snapped on Saturday.
Spencer Martin was left out to dry a bit in his first start of the year and Jordan Martinook scored twice as he tried to keep his team in the game.
Despite the streak, the Hurricanes really haven’t been at their best over the past three games and they do need to get back to the basics.
Vegas is coming off of a 4-3 overtime loss to the Seattle Kraken but have points in their last three games.
While the Golden Knights have been great at scoring, they’ve struggled a bit to keep pucks out of their own net so perhaps the Canes will be able to capitalize on that.
