The Maple Leafs will play the Hurricanes two times in the next eight days, and it will be a chance to evaluate how they fare against a team with Stanley Cup aspirations. The Carolina Hurricanes have a new look after adding Jake Guentzel and Evgeny Kuznetsov at the trade deadline. The Hurricanes’ management team has been criticized in past seasons for not giving their team the best chance to win by being conservative with their assets and not acquiring players on expiring contracts. By adding offensive firepower with Guentzel and Kuznetsov, they are as “all in” as they have ever been in their many years of being near the top of the Eastern Conference.
