What - Game 11 (6-4-0)
When - 7 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 2
Where - Madison Square Garden; New York, NY
How to Watch - Bally Sports South
The Carolina Hurricanes head to the dreaded Madison Square Garden for a matchup against the red hot New York Rangers (7-2-0).
The Rangers are coming off of a 5-0-0 road trip sweep and have been one of the NHL's stingiest teams on defense.
They have allowed the second least amount of shots on goal per game (26.2) — Carolina is number one (26.1) — and they've allowed just 2.0 goals against per game on the season.
New York also has the league's second best power play operating at a crazy good 34.4% success rate.
The Canes are themselves on a three-game winning streak, most recently defeating the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2.
Teuvo Teravainen scored the game-winning goal in the third period to bring his season total to eight, which more than leads the team.
Jesperi Kotkaniemi leads the team in points with 10 and Teravainen, Seth Jarvis and Martin Necas each have nine s well.
After a slow start to the season, Frederik Andersen currently has a 4-0-0 record and has had a 0.923 and 0.929 save percentages in his last two games.
Streaks
- Dmitry Orlov has an assist in back-to-back games (2a).
- Teuvo Teravainen has scored in back-to-back games (4g).
Milestone Watch
- Martin Necas is one point shy of 200 career NHL points.
- Stefan Noesen is two points shy of 100 career NHL points.
- Jaccob Slavin is four assists shy of 200 career NHL assists. He is also one assist shy of becoming the all-time franchise leader in assists by a defenseman.
- Last game was Don Waddell's 1,200th game as an NHL general manager.
Game Notes
- The Hurricanes have a 60-80-7-9 record all-time against the Rangers and a 23-47-4-5 record at MSG.
- Carolina has a lot of Rangers ties with Tony DeAngelo (167 games), Antti Raanta (55), Brady Skjei (307), Brendan Lemieux (109) and Jesper Fast (422) all having played in New York. Jack Drury is also the nephew of Rangers' GM Chris Drury.
- On the flipside, only Vincent Trocheck (135 games) has ties to Carolina from the New York roster, although the Canes did hold the rights to Adam Fox for a bit.
