The Carolina Hurricanes will look to win a fourth game in a row tonight as they take on the Columbus Blue Jackets (23-18-7).
The Canes are coming off of a 2-1 win over the Dallas Stars Tuesday night in what was their third straight win for the first time since November.
The Hurricanes have gotten solid goaltending every game of this win streak so far and that coincides also with the return of Frederik Andersen, who will start again tonight.
A big key for Carolina tonight will be getting the power play clicking. The Canes are 1-for-28 on the power play over their past 10 games and that just won't get it done.
Columbus is coming off of a 5-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday and have found themselves in playoff position which many didn't expect coming into the season.
The Blue Jackets have been one of the top scoring teams in the league this year and they're finding a lot of success on that end of the ice.
The one area where teams can take advantage of them though is defensively, where Columbus isn't as strong.
