The Carolina Hurricanes are in Buffalo tonight, the first of two straight games against the Sabres, and the Canes could clinch a playoff spot.
The Canes could officially punch their postseason ticket in game 70 Tuesday, as a win in Buffalo coupled with a Dallas Stars regulation win over the Islanders would get the job done Tuesday. Of course the Canes are going to the playoffs regardless, but clinching the spot is always cool.
It’ll be Frederik Andersen in net for the Hurricanes as they look for the win in Buffalo, while Steven Lorentz could be back in the lineup after a couple of healthy scratches.
