    Ehlers faces his former team as Hellebuyck's injury shakes up the Jets' crease. Can Hurricanes capitalize on the opportunity?

    What - Game 21 (13-5-2)
    When - 8 p.m., Friday, Nov. 21
    Where - Canada Life Centre; Winnipeg, MB
    How to Watch - FanDuel Sports Network South, TSN3


    The Carolina Hurricanes continue their road trip with a brief stop in Canada to take on the Winnipeg Jets tonight.

    The Canes are coming off of a 4-3 shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday and have gotten at least a point in their last four games.

    Carolina will be looking for its top players to continue leading the way, especially former Winnipeg Jet Nikolaj Ehlers who returns to his former team for the first time.

    Ehlers has four goals and nine points in his last 10 games with the Hurricanes.

    Winnipeg got dealt some bad news this morning as it was announced that starting goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will undergo a minor arthroscopic knee procedure that will sideline him for the next four to six weeks.

    However, backup Eric Comrie has performed well for the Jets.

    Winnipeg is on a two-game winning streak, most recently having beaten the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-2 on Tuesday.
