After two extremely physical games against the Tampa Bay Lightning earlier in the week, the Carolina Hurricanes schedule doesn’t get any easier as they take on the Florida Panthers in a two-game set beginning tonight at the BB&T Center. The winner of tonight’s game will have sole possession of first place in the Central Division.
The Hurricanes looked the part of contenders in the back-to-back games against the reigning Stanley Cup Champions on Monday and Tuesday, and will look to keep up their winning ways against the Panthers this season.
Carolina is 5-0-1 this season against Florida and tonight starts the final two--game set against the Cats in the regular season.
