TRACKING THE STORYLINES:
#10 For The Kid?:Today is an important day in the case of Canes 19-year-old Seth Jarvis. If Jarvis plays in tonight's game, it will be his 10th NHL game, officially beginning the first year of his entry-level contract.
Into The Record Books:Jarvis has made quite the impression during his first nine contests, becoming just the fourth rookie in franchise history to score in three consecutive games. Should he play and score tonight, he'd become the first first-year player to do so since Kevin Dineen in 1985.
The Best Is ... Now:The team's
win Saturday at STAPLES Center
gave them 14 in their first 16 contests, marking another franchise record. The crew is 8-1-0 away from PNC Arena, tops in the league by points percentage. Should the Canes pick up a win tonight, it would be five in a row on the road, which would tie the existing record for the franchise, since relocating.
League Leader: If you've been following the Hurricanes this season you're likely well aware by now that Frederik Andersen is one of the best goalies in the league. He leads the league in wins with 11, wins on the road with seven and ranks in the top ten in both save percentage (SV%) and goals against average (GAA). Now, after recording an assist Saturday on Sebastian Aho's goal in Los Angeles, Andersen ranks tied with Sharks goaltender Adin Hill in assists by goaltenders league-wide with two.
On The Other Side:Across the ice tonight Canes fans will recognize a few faces. Goaltender James Reimer was a member of the club from 2019-21, while on the bench Head Coach Bob Boughner played for the team for one season (2003-04). Additionally, Assistant Coach John MacLean coached for the Hurricanes for three seasons (2011-14).
Night of Big Numbers: Tonight is expected to be a special one for a player on each team tonight. Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson is set to play his 800th NHL game and Canes forward Jordan Staal is slated to play his 600th for the franchise.
Additional Notes:
Milestone Watch:Tonight will be Jordan Staal's 600th game as a Hurricane. Teuvo Teravainen needs one goal to reach 100 in his NHL career.
What Color Are We Wearing?:The team will be wearing their white sweaters today. They will wear their white sweaters each game on this trip.
