Last Game...

• The Canes had one of their most memorable wins of the season on Monday, scoring five in the third period to come from behind and beat the Dallas Stars.

• Spencer Martin earned the win in net, stopping 15 shots.
• It was Carolina's eighth consecutive win on home ice.

Neci's Numbers...

• Not only does Martin Necas share a tie for the league lead in points (35) entering Wednesday's play, but he is also the fastest player to 35 points in franchise history (21 games).

• 88 is the first Hurricane to lead the league or have a share of the league lead in scoring since Rod Brind'Amour was tied with Marian Hossa on Nov. 16, 2006.

• With a goal and an assist on Monday, his 11 multi-point games now rank second among all NHL skaters. Only Kirill Kaprizov of Minnesota (12) has more. His 20 points during November lead all NHL skaters.

Orly's Dishing Helpers...

• Defenseman Dmitry Orlov enters tonight with an assist in five consecutive games.
• Tied for the longest point streak in his NHL career, he now ranks second among all Canes blueliners with 13 points in 21 games. Only Shayne Gostisbehere (16 pts) has more.
• Orlov also leads the NHL in +/- at +20.

Home Cooking...

• Back at Lenovo Center for the second of three home tilts this week, the Canes enter tonight's contest with eight straight wins on home ice. They are the second NHL team this season to post a home-ice win streak of that length or more and it is now tied for the third-longest home win streak in team history.
• Carolina has scored an average of 4.67 goals per game at Lenovo Center, ranking second behind Vegas (4.70) in per-game scoring on home ice.

In Net...

• Spencer Martin improved to 2-2-1 on Monday with his victory over Dallas and could be in line for a second straight start should Rod Brind'Amour elect to ride the hot hand.

On The Other Side...

• Despite recent struggles, New York boasts the league's second-best penalty kill with an 89.2% success rate.
• Artemi Panarin leads the team with 26 points (12G, 14A), but has found the scoresheet in just one of his last four outings after his seven-game point streak was snapped.
• Meanwhile, Will Cuylle enters tonight's tilt with points in five of his last seven, including four goals and three multi-point performances.
• As expected, Igor Shesterkin has started the majority of games between the pipes for New York and posted 38 saves in a losing effort against St. Louis last time out. He is 8-6-1 on the season with a 2.91 GAA and .913 sv%.
