How to Watch - Bally Sports South
The Carolina Hurricanes will host the Pittsburgh Penguins (8-7-0) tonight in the first meeting of the season between the two teams.
The Canes dropped their first game at home on Wednesday, losing 3-1 to the Philadelphia Flyers, so the team will be looking to bounce back.
Rod Brind'Amour has adjusted the forward lines again heading into tonight's game and so we'll see if the tweaks have the right effect.
The Canes will have to be cautious of the star power on the top-heavy Penguins as has been the case for decades now.
Pittsburgh's 36-year-old captain Sidney Crosby is off to yet another tremendous start to the season (10g, 20pts) and new addition Erik Karlsson is at over a point-per-game pace so far.
