The Carolina Hurricanes take on the Calgary Flames (28-23-8) as both teams look to bounce back from losses yesterday.
The Canes are coming off of a 3-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, a game in which, while they didn't play poorly, just didn't have a good enough start.
The Flames on the other hand were shutout 3-0 by the Florida Panthers.
It will be important for Carolina to grab an early lead as they're looking for a hot start out of the gates.
