After the Florida Panthers lost in the shootout last night, your Carolina Hurricanes stand alone as the final unbeaten team in the National Hockey League. That unbeaten streak will be put to the test tonight as the Hurricanes play their first matinee of the season against the Arizona Coyotes. With that, let us dive into how the Carolina Hurricanes can improve to 8-0-0 on the NHL season.
Arizona has struggled to start the season. Currently bottom of the NHL standings, the Coyotes record reads 0-7-1 and that might be a little complimentary. Their shootout loss was to the suddenly fantastic Buffalo Sabres, and they’ve been outscored 12-36 in their opening 8 games of the season.
