The Carolina Hurricanes return home for the first time since last year as they look to take on the Minnesota Wild (24-11-4) tonight.
Carolina is coming off of a 3-1 win over the Florida Panthers on Thursday and it seems like the team is starting to really get their feet back under them after a rocky November/December.
The Wild are coming off of a 4-3 shootout win over the Washington Capitals and have now won four of their last five games and have been one of the league's best teams.
It also helps them that goaltender Filip Gustavsson has rebounded after a really tough season last year.
Both teams have also had to deal with a plethora of injuries as of late, but Minnesota especially has gotten the shorter end of that stick with top forward Kirill Kaprizov and top defenseman and captain Jared Spurgeon only a few of the players out with injury.
