First game of a back to back scenario for the Canes takes them to Ottawa to face the struggling Sens.
Sens are 1-3 since the big Dion Phaneuf acquisition with just a shootout win. Erik Karlsson leads the NHL with 52 assists. Mike Hoffman and Bobby Ryan are the goal scorers with 24 and 20. Craig Anderson has a 2.80 GAA and .916 Sv%. As you can guess with those goalie numbers, Ottawa allows a LOT of shots, they are worst in the league with 33.1 shots allowed per game.
Canes will be without Justin Faulk again tonight. Cam Ward is healthy enough to be the backup tonight, but Peters noted yesterday that he has yet to decide on his starter for tonight. I still expect it to be Eddie Lack.
Fox SportsSouth for TV tonight.
Lot of other games of interest for the Canes playoff hopes tonight...Detroit @ Pittsburgh, Jets at TB, Caps at Isle, Boston at Preds, NYR at Toronto...(teams in bold are the teams we are rooting for).
So lots of important action tonight. These are 2 points the Canes don't want to be leaving on the table tonight against a team that they are better than.
