The Carolina Hurricanes continue to look for consistency and will hope to find some tonight as they take on the Columbus Blue Jackets (12-13-4).
The Canes are coming off of a 3-0 shutout loss to Linus Ullmark and the Ottawa Senators on Friday, but to be fair, it was a game that looked a lot better than some of the previous ones.
The Hurricanes were much more defensively sound overall and generated chances, they were just stymied by a hot goaltender.
Regardless, the team needs to be clicking both defensively and offensively if they want to go on a run and put this bad stretch behind themselves.
The Blue Jackets are coming off of a 4-3 overtime loss to the Anaheim Ducks last night and they have now lost four of their last five.
Columbus is one of the highest scoring 5v5 teams in the league and they have quite a few guys that can burn you, especially with the way Zach Werenski has been playing.
However, the Blue Jackets have struggled a bit with preventing goals and their special teams have left a lot to be desired.
