THE QUICK HITS:
Last Time Out:The Canes claimed sole possession of the Metropolitan Division Sunday, holding on for a
4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins
. Carolina scored exactly nine seconds into both the second and third periods, becoming the first team in NHL history to do so. Antti Raanta made 31 saves on the way to his 100th National Hockey League win.
Freddie In Philly: After Raanta got the start Sunday in the Steel City, it would appear that Frederik Andersen will be in the visitors net this afternoon. Post-game Brind'Amour cited it as a way for his All-Star netminder to get an extra day of rest, after he made 28 stops on 31 shots in Friday's win over Nashville.
Banged Up Bodies: Speaking of the victory over Nashville, in that game it was Seth Jarvis who entered as questionable with a lower-body injury. He would go on to play. Sunday in Pittsburgh it was Vincent Trocheck who was a game-time decision with an upper-body injury. He, too, would go on to play. Today the status of Brendan Smith remains up in the air after he left Sunday's victory with an upper-body injury. "Smitty" blocked a shot up high, ending his night after just 2:51 of ice time.
Good On The Road:The Canes are 17-7-2 away from PNC Arena this season. 17 wins in that department ties them with Pittsburgh for the most in the NHL.
Take Advantage, Turbo:With an assist on Sebastian Aho's power play goal Sunday afternoon, Teuvo Teravainen now has points in five straight games. In addition to producing the last few contests, #86 also has power play setups in eight of his last ten games played.
Finish Strong:This is the Canes eighth of 14 back-to-back sets this season. While they're now 6-1-1 in the opening half, they're a much more average 3-3-1 so far in game number twos.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Milestone Watch: Derek Stepan is one point shy of 500 for his NHL career. Teravainen needs one more point for 300 as a member of the organization.
What Are We Wearing?:The team will be wearing their white sweaters today.
