Hey, We're On ESPN!:Tonight's telecast can be found on the ESPN, featuring a commentary team of Bob Wischusen and Brian Boucher. Mike Maniscalco, Tripp Tracy and Alec Campbell will handle the radio duties on 99.9 The Fan.
Two For Two-Four:Seth Jarvis had two assists in the team's win over Tampa on Tuesday, the second time in the last three games he has posted multi-point games. Now up to 24 points in 49 games, Jarvis ranks sixth in scoring among players selected in the 2020 draft.
Enjoying The Home Cooking:Carolina's victory over Tampa was their 24th win at PNC Arena this year, the third-most home wins by any NHL club. Now 13-1-2 in their last 16 games in Raleigh, the Canes have just eight home games remaining after tonight.
A Look At The Other Side:Dallas trailed 3-2 with six minutes to go in regulation Tuesday night. Two goals in 24 seconds later, they were in the driver's seat in what would become a 5-3 comeback win. They are 6-4 in their last ten games but have not had as much success on the road as they've had at home this year, currently touting a 14-16-2 record when away from the American Airlines Arena. Veteran Joe Pavelski has been the guiding force for the offense, producing over a point-per-game thus far this season, totaling 64 points in 62 outings.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
More Milestones: Jordan Staal is two points shy of 600. Jaccob Slavin is two points shy of 200 for his NHL career.
