Hurricanes ride a 12-game point streak against playoff-chasing Kraken. Lineups, goalies, and trade deadline stakes set the stage.
What - Game 60 (38-15-6)
When - 10 p.m., Monday, March 2
Where - Climate Pledge Arena; Seattle, WA
How to Watch - FanDuel Sports Network South
The Carolina Hurricanes will begin a four-game road trip tonight as they take on the Seattle Kraken.
The Hurricanes are currently on a 12-game point streak, most recently defeating the Detroit Red Wings 5-2 on Saturday.
This will be the final stretch of games for Carolina before the Friday trade deadline, so it will be interesting to see how these games play out.
Seattle enters tonight's game coming off of a 5-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks.
The Kraken very much remain in the playoff race out West, but with a team that has struggled to consistently score at 5v5, it's no guarantee that they can hold onto a spot.
