The Carolina Hurricanes (46-24-4) visit Detroit (34-33-7) to take on the Red Wings tonight at 7 P.M. Eastern. The game will be televised locally by the FanDuel Sports Network.
The Canes are coming off a huge, 5-1 win against the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night which guaranteed them a seventh consecutive playoff spot. I would expect emotions to return to normal tonight.
Pyotr Kochetkov should be back in net. The lineup should be the same as it was against the Caps as both Andrei Svechnikov and Jordan Staal are nursing injuries.
There has been a lot of attention given to Carolina’s response to Washington’s goonery Wednesday night.
