The Hurricanes come into their third game of a four game home stand against a tough Maple Leafs team who will be looking for revenge after their October loss to the Hurricanes in Toronto. Despite a deflating loss to the Rangers on Tuesday, the Hurricanes still sit just 3 points out of a wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.
