The Carolina Hurricanes will look for revenge on the Tampa Bay Lightning (37-22-4) tonight in the third and final meeting between the two teams.
Despite all the noise and drama surrounding the team as of late, the Canes have actually strung together four-straight wins and are looking to solidify home-ice advantage for the first round of the playoffs.
However, there are a couple of injury question marks for the team as forward Andrei Svechnikov was getting checked out Monday and Dmitry Orlov remains day-to-day.
Tampa Bay enters the contest coming off of a 4-0 shutout loss to the Boston Bruins.
Before that loss though, the Lightning had been red hot with wins in 10 of their past 11 games.
