The Carolina Hurricanes have a pre-Thanksgiving Day matchup scheduled tonight with the New York Rangers (12-7-1).
Carolina is coming off of a 6-4 comeback victory over the Dallas Stars.
Seth Jarvis returned in that game from an upper-body injury that had sidelined him for seven games and he had a shorthanded goal and three points.
However, the Canes will be without both Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion protocol) and Frederik Andersen (knee surgery) so Spencer Martin will be the man in net.
The Rangers enter the contest losers of three straight and have given up 40+ shots in each of those games.
New York has hit a really bad rough patch, but their underlying numbers have been poor all season with the lone saving grace being the play of netminders Igor Shesterkin and Jonathan Quick who have a combined 0.917 save percentage.
Things have gotten so bad for the Rangers that their GM has publicly come out saying that they're open to trading longest tenured player Chris Kreider and captain Jacob Trouba in order to shake things up.
