Previous Meetings This Season

• January 24: Spencer Martin plays in his first game with the team, backstopping the group to a 3-2 win after Jordan Martinook scored the late game decider.
• April 4: The Canes allowed three goals in the first 10:46 en route to a 4-1 loss.

Last Time Out

• Andrei Svechnikov scored just 17 seconds in on Sunday as the Canes were in complete control from start to finish in a 3-0 win over the Blue Jackets.
• Svechnikov's goal snapped a 10-game goalless streak and he was joined by Teuvo Teravainen, who snapped a nine-game drought of his own on the way to a multi-point performance.
• It was a low-key night for Frederik Andersen, who stopped 23 shots for his second shutout in his last three games.

Guentzel's Game

• Jake Guentzel tallied an assist against Columbus to extend his point streak to five games.
• He has now earned 13 points in his last eight games, giving him 21 points in 14 games with Carolina.

Hurricane Season

• The Canes are one win shy of reaching the 50-win mark for the third straight season and the fourth time in franchise history
  (also 2021-22, 2022-23, 2005-06).
• With their win over the Blue Jackets on Sunday, the team has earned a point in 11 of their last 13 games, including a seven-game point streak from 3/14-3/24.
• Carolina has also posted a point in 41 of its last 51 contests, with the highest points percentage (.745) and fewest regulation losses of any team over that stretch.

In Net

• Since Frederik Andersen returned on March 7, the Canes have gone with a rotation of him and Pyotr Kochetkov between the pipes. With Andersen having played on Sunday, it feels likely that Kochetkov will get the nod this evening.
• Kochetkov is 17-7-3 dating back to December 12, leading all Eastern Conference goalies with his .923 SV% during that time.
• The 24-year-old has won both of his last starts, including a shut out of Montreal.

On The Other Side

• One of the most complete teams in the league, Boston, like Carolina, remains in the mix for the Presidents' Trophy.
• Currently pacing the Atlantic Division, the Bruins have won four in a row, allowing a total of just five goals in those games.
• David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha have been on fire since March 1, both posting 20 points in 17 games.
• In net, Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman both rank inside the league's top five in SV%, each sitting at .917.

Injury Updates

• The Canes currently do not have any injured players.

What Are We Wearing?

• The team will be wearing their white sweaters.

What's Next After This Game?

• The Canes will fly home immediately post-game and are scheduled to be off on Wednesday.  They'll return to practice on Thursday before flying to St. Louis ahead of Friday's game.
