The Hurricanes are looking to rekindle a point streak tonight as they come off of an impressive pair of games last weekend, picking up all four available points. They will take on a faltering Rangers team tonight that has struggled to maintain consistency. The Blueshirts and Canes are tied in the standings with 22 points each, but the Hurricanes maintain two games in hand on the Metropolitan Division foe.
