The Hurricanes went 1-1-0 over the past week. What - Game 31 (19-10-1) When - 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 17 Where - Lenovo Center; Raleigh, NC How to Watch - ESPN+, HULU -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Carolina Hurricanes will look to win consecutive games for the first time in nine games as they host the New York Islanders (12-13-7). Carolina is coming off of a 4-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/carolina-hurricanes/game-day/dustin-tokarski-leads-carolina-to-victory-nearly-two-years-since-last-start]where Dustin Tokarski came away with the win after making his first start in nearly two years [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/carolina-hurricanes/latest-news/veteran-goaltender-to-make-hurricanes-debut-tonight-against-columbus]. The Canes have started to look more like themselves at 5v5 over the past few games, so that will be a big thing to look for tonight. The Islanders are coming off of a 5-3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks and have just one win in their last three games. New York also has the league's worst special teams, ranking last in both the penalty kill and power play. Perhaps that will be an area where Carolina can really capitalize. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Streaks * undefined Milestone Watch * undefined * undefined Game Notes * undefined -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key Matchups Starting Goalies * undefined * undefined Leading Scorers * undefined * undefined Power Play * undefined * undefined Penalty Kill * undefined * undefined -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hurricanes Projected Lineup Eric Robinson - Sebastian Aho - Seth Jarvis Andrei Svechnikov - Jesperi Kotkaniemi - Martin Necas Jordan Martinook - Jordan Staal - William Carrier Jackson Blake - Tyson Jost - Jack Roslovic Jaccob Slavin - Brent Burn Dmitry Orlov - Jalen Chatfield Shayne Gostisbehere - Sean Walker Pyotr Kochetkov Dustin Tokarski Injuries and Scratches: Jack Drury (hand), Frederik Andersen (LBI), Jesper Fast (neck) Islanders Projected Lineup Anders Lee - Mathew Barzal - Jean-Gabriel Pageau Maxim Tsyplakov - Brock Nelson - Kyle Palmieri Pierre Engvall - Kyle MacLean - Simon Holmstrom Matt Martin - Casey Cizikas - Hudson Fasching Adam Pelech - Ryan Pulock Alexander Romanov - Noah Dobson Dennis Cholowski - Scott Mayfield Ilya Sorokin Marcus Hogberg Injuries and Scratches: Isaiah George, Grant Hutton, Anthony Duclair (leg), Bo Horvat (LBI), Mike Reilly (heart), Semyon Varlamov (LBI)
