The Carolina Hurricanes are coming off of a much-needed 7-4 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night. That win will likely give the Canes a nice confidence boost on this vital road swing. The team currently sits seven points out of the last Eastern Conference wildcard spot as we continue to approach the All-Star Game break. The importance of tonight’s matchup cannot be stressed enough – and it is not an easy one by any means.
The big storyline for tonight’s game is of course the familiar faces that Caniacs may or may not be thrilled to see.
