After a one-game slate last night, there are considerably more games on tap for hockey fans tonight -- 14 of them, in fact, including a double-header on ESPN: Philadelphia Flyers at Washington Capitals at 7 ET, followed by Tampa Bay Lightning at Dallas Stars at 9:30 ET. But there's another game that garnered our attention: the Carolina Hurricanes paying a visit to the New York Rangers (7 ET, streaming live for out-of-market ESPN+ subscribers).
For a while this season, the Canes' lead atop the Metropolitan Division appeared quite cushy.
