The Carolina Hurricanes are looking for a fifth straight win as they hit the road to take on the Nashville Predators.

The Canes are coming off of a 7-0 beatdown of the Winnipeg Jets on Monday, a game where it just felt like everything went right.

The Hurricanes have been rolling since the start of the year and sit at the top of the entire league currently because of that.

Nashville is coming off of a 5-4 shootout win over the Lightning and enter the game with a top-5 power play and penalty kill.

However, the Predators haven't been as strong at even strength, an area where Carolina excels.

Jackson Blake (2g, 6a) and Nikolaj Ehlers (3g, 6a) have points in six straight games.
Seth Jarvis (4a), Logan Stankoven (2g, 2a) and Mark Jankowski (2g) have points in back-to-back games.

Milestone Watch

Logan Stankoven is one game away from 200 career games played.

Sebastian Aho (16g, 29pts in 26gp) and Nikolaj Ehlers (8g, 23pts in 23gp) are point-per-game players against the Predators.
Seth Jarvis (2g, 5a) has registered at least a point in six straight games against Nashville.
