The hunt for the Metro Division is a tight one but not as tight as the race for the Eastern Conference Wild Cards. The Carolina Hurricanes have four games this week.
It has officially become the time of year when scoreboard-watching is deemed acceptable.
The Canes will not have to look very far toward the end of the week when they make a visit to New Jersey to take on the Devils, who trail Carolina by two points as I write this article.
After today’s matinee against the Tampa Bay Lightning at PNC Arena, the Canes will have Monday off and then head up north to play the Montreal Canadians.
