The Carolina Hurricanes will take on the Minnesota Wild tonight for the second game of their four-game road trip.

Carolina is coming off of a 3-1 win over the Boston Bruins on Monday, a game where their depth and goaltending shined through.

The Hurricanes may also have some reinforcements on the horizon as Jalen Chatfield is nearing a return to the lineup, having been out of commission since absorbing a headshot the last time these two teams met.

Minnesota enters tonight's game on a two-game winning streak and having gotten points in their last five straight.

The Wild are running into their own share of injuries troubles as of late too, which would open up a big chance for the Hurricanes.
