    Canes chase a fourth straight win up north against a struggling Maple Leafs squad tonight. Key matchups and projected lineups revealed.

    What - Game 15 (10-4-0)
    When - 7 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 9
    Where - Scotiabank Arena; Toronto, ON, Canada
    How to Watch - FanDuel Sports Network South, TVAS, TSN4


    The Carolina Hurricanes are up north for their first trip to Canada as they take on the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight on the second half of a back-to-back.

    The Canes are winners of their last three games in a row, most recently defeating the Buffalo Sabres 6-3 Saturday night at Lenovo Center.

    The Hurricanes are inching back to full health, getting back both Eric Robinson and William Carrier on Saturday, and Shayne Gostisbehere looks to be just around the corner too.

    Toronto is heading into tonight's game also on the second half of a back-to-back, most recently falling 5-3 to the Boston Bruins.

    The Maple Leafs have struggled with consistency a bit this season and currently sit outside of the playoff picture after capturing the Atlantic Division crown last season.
