The Carolina Hurricanes will take on the Vancouver Canucks (18-12-10) tonight in the second half of a back-to-back.
The Canes are coming off a 6-3 comeback victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday, a game in which Jordan Staal scored a hat trick and rookie Juha Jaaska picked up his first career point.
The Hurricanes had a pretty bad start that head coach Rod Brind'Amour labeled as "beer league," but the team rallied back in a big way.
Vancouver is coming off of a 2-1 overtime loss to the Washington Capitals on Wednesday and have lost their last three in a row.
The Canucks have dealt with a plethora of injury issues this season and some possible drama between their star forwards Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller.
However, defenseman Quinn Hughes has really carried the load for Vancouver and looks every bit like a top-end Norris contender.
