You again?
After a much deserved day off on Friday and practice yesterday, the Canes continue the homestand. Reading a Michael Smith’s article yesterday, the boys were appreciative of the complete blackout day. The stretch between February 11 and Thursday’s game was 13 games in 22 days, 1 game every 1.69 days. The schedule lightens up the rest of the month, with just 12 more games and 3 more 2 day breaks. The pace increases in April and a may with 22 games in 40 days, only 1-2 day break and 4 back to backs. But 13 of the 22 are at home, including a season long 8 game homestand in April. From the comments after practice, it sounds like Mrazek is a no for today, they had been pointing to this game for his return. Gardiner will be a game time decision and, based on the pairings in practice, Bean looks to be the odd man out. Reimer should be in goal.
The Panthers beat the Preds yesterday, 6-2, behind Noel Acciari’s hat trick, his first goals of the season. The win moved them back into 2nd, tied with Tampa on points. They had a 2 day break after their game on Monday so Bob started both games against Nashville, also beating them 5-4 on Thursday. We’ll probably see Chris Driedger today.
