The Hurricanes head to Brooklyn tonight looking to continue their season-high five game point streak, and start a bit of an odd home-and-almost-home with the Islanders. The teams will play tonight and again on Sunday in Raleigh, but in between each team will play an additional game on Saturday, with the Canes in Buffalo and the Islanders heading to Tampa.
Marcus Kruger was under the weather and missed practice yesterday, but the Canes did not take a morning skate so there’s no word on whether he’ll be good to go. If he is in, which seems to be the thought, then things won’t change from Monday’s win over the Stars.
