How to Watch - FanDuel Sports Network South
The Carolina Hurricanes will take on the Winnipeg Jets (44-16-4) tonight, the first game of the Logan Stankoven/Mark Jankowski era.
The Canes have strung together three wins in a row and perhaps there will be a bit of a lighter group now that the Mikko Rantanen drama is over.
Winnipeg has won back-to-back games, shaking off a skid of three straight games, and enters tonight as the league's top team and with the number one power play.
