PREVIOUS MEETINGS:
THE QUICK HITS:
Starting The Second Half Busy:The Canes begin the "second half" of their regular season schedule with a stretch of four road games in six days. After tonight in Toronto the team will continue on for a meeting in Ottawa tomorrow, Boston Thursday and then Minnesota Saturday. It's the beginning of 40 games in 80 days for the team, leading to the end of the campaign.
Let's Pick Up Where We Left Off:Carolina entered the break after earning four wins in six days. The team is 7-1 in their last eight outings.
Just Fine Away From Home:Rod Brind'Amour's club is 15-5-1 away from PNC Arena this season, matching the New York Rangers for the most wins on the road among any team in the NHL this season.
Maple Syrup For Neci:In three career games against the Maple Leafs, Hurricanes forward Martin Necas has recorded six points.
Kotkaniemi Out:Sunday afternoon the team announced that forward Jesperi Kotkaniemi has entered COVID-19 Protocol, rendering him out of commission for at least the team's games tonight and tomorrow. It will be the first games missed of the season for the 21-year-old center, who totaled 20 points in the club's first 42 games.
Tervainen TBD:Following practice Sunday afternoon Rod Brind'Amour said that Teuvo Teravainen could be a game-time decision tonight, still battling the lower-body injury he suffered on January 21. "Turbo" participated in practice at Wake Competition Center, but that doesn't necessarily mean he is for sure in tonight.
Additional Notes:
Milestone Watch: Antti Raanta is one win shy of 100 in his NHL career. Derek Stepan is two points shy of 500 for his NHL career.
What Color Are We Wearing?:The team will be wearing their white sweaters tonight.
