This will be the first time this season that the Canes and Leafs have faced off.

Carolina is coming off of a tough 3-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning in which they surrendered the go-ahead goal with less than a minute to go in regulation.

The Hurricanes didn't play poorly by any means, but they once again just needed a little more from those top guys that have been so hit and miss this year.

The Maple Leafs are winners of five in a row coming into Raleigh and they currently sit atop the Atlantic Division.

While captain Auston Matthews has missed a good chunk of time due to an undisclosed injury, the team has really come together under new coach Craig Berube, especially in goal.

Toronto poses a big challenge for Carolina, as they seemingly do every year." } }, { "type": "delimiter", "data": {} }, { "type": "paragraph", "data": { "text": "Streaks" } }, { "type": "list", "data": { "style": "unordered", "items": [ "Andrei Svechnikov (1g, 1a) and Jordan Staal (1g, 2a) have points in back-to-back games." ] } }, { "type": "paragraph", "data": { "text": "Milestone Watch" } }, { "type": "list", "data": { "style": "unordered", "items": [ "Brent Burns is one game shy of sole possession for the sixth longest iron man streak in NHL history.", "Brent Burns is also five points shy of 900 career points.", "Jack Roslovic is three goals shy of 100 career goals." ] } }, { "type": "paragraph", "data": { "text": "Game Notes" } }, { "type": "list", "data": { "style": "unordered", "items": [ "Carolina is 71-45-11-6 all-time against Toronto and swept the season series last year 3-0-0.", "The Maple Leafs have a few former Hurricanes on their roster including Max Domi, Jani Hakanpaa, Max Pacioretty and Stanley Cup champion Steven Lorentz.", "Jordan Staal has 34 points in 49 career games against the Maple Leafs" ] } }, { "type": "delimiter", "data": {} }, { "type": "paragraph", "data": { "text": "Key Matchups" } }, { "type": "paragraph", "data": { "text": "Starting Goalies" } }, { "type": "list", "data": { "style": "unordered", "items": [ "Pyotr Kochetkov: 15-9-1; 0.902 Sv%; 2.50 GAA", "Joseph Wall: 14-6-0; 0.915 Sv%; 2.46 GAA" ] } }, { "type": "paragraph", "data": { "text": "Leading Scorers" } }, { "type": "list", "data": { "style": "unordered", "items": [ "Goals - Jack Roslovic (17) / William Nylander (23)", "Points - Martin Necas (47) / Mitch Marner (58)" ] } }, { "type": "paragraph", "data": { "text": "Power Play" } }, { "type": "list", "data": { "style": "unordered", "items": [ "Carolina - 23.4% (12th)", "Toronto - 20.7% (18th)" ] } }, { "type": "paragraph", "data": { "text": "Penalty Kill" } }, { "type": "list", "data": { "style": "unordered", "items": [ "Carolina - 84.9% (1st)", "Toronto - 83.2% (7th)" ] } }, { "type": "delimiter", "data": {} }, { "type": "paragraph", "data": { "text": "Hurricanes Projected Lineup" } }, { "type": "paragraph", "data": { "text": "Jack Roslovic - Sebastian Aho - Seth Jarvis
