What - Game 43 (24-13-5)
When - 3 p.m., Monday, Jan. 15
Where - PNC Arena; Raleigh, NC
How to Watch - Bally Sports South
It will be the battle of the eight-game streaks today as the Carolina Hurricanes host the LA Kings (20-11-8).
The Canes have points in eight straight and in 14 of their last 15 meanwhile the Kings are winless in their last eight (0-4-4).
Carolina has been firing on all cylinders and it seems like Antti Raanta has had a return to form just in time as Pyotr Kochetkov went down with a head injury against the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday.
Despite the recent record, LA is still a dangerous and deep team so it will be yet another tall test for the Canes team that has been pushing all the right buttons so far this year.
Streaks
- Teuvo Teravainen (1g, 3a) has points in three straight games.
- Sebastian Aho (2a), Seth Jarvis (1g, 3a), Jordan Martinook (2g, 1a), Andrei Svechnikov (1g, 1a) all have points in back-to-back games.
Milestone Watch
- None
