The Carolina Hurricanes embark on an important weekend of games at home. Tonight, the Dallas Stars visit PNC Arena in a battle between Western and Eastern Conference foes.
Carolina just completed an extremely successful six-game road trip that lasted over a span of two weeks.
On Thursday, the Hurricanes returned home to play another Western Conference opponent the Seattle Kraken.
The road warriors returned home for a 3-2 victory over the Kraken. Pyotr Kochetkov held on for another victory in an impressive run for the rookie of the year candidate.
It was a strong effort that started off flawless, but the Kraken slipped back into the game and an untested Kochetkov was sharp enough late to secure the victory.
