Last Game...

• The Canes erased a two-goal deficit in the third period on Saturday, but ultimately fell to the St. Louis Blues by a score of 4-3.
• Shayne Gostisbehere scored for a third consecutive game and Jack Roslovic started a streak for himself by scoring for the second game in a row.
• Pyotr Kochetkov took the loss in net, allowing four goals on 19 shots.

In Net...

• With Kochetkov playing on Saturday, it is expected that Frederik Andersen will take his turn in the scheduled rotation this evening.
• Andersen was fantastic in Pittsburgh on Friday, stopping 25 out of 26 shots faced for his first win of the season.

Spooky SZN...

• Gostisbehere's power-play goal on Saturday placed him in a tie for the most goals by an NHL defenseman thus far this season (3).
• His second power-play goal already this season, it matches the two he had in 81 games with Detroit during the 2023-24 campaign. His career high is eight, produced with Philadelphia (2015-16).
• The three-game goal streak is now the longest of Gostisbehere's 11-year pro career.

Three-Game Runs...

• In addition to Gostisbehere, Sebastian Aho (1G, 3A), Seth Jarvis (1G, 2A), and Andrei Svechnikov (1G, 3A) all also have three-game point streaks entering tonight.

Milestone Watch...

• Jordan Martinook is two points shy of 200 NHL points.
• Martin Necas is two goals shy of 100 NHL/Hurricanes goals.

On The Other Side...

• The Oilers have had a frustrating start to the season after their June Stanley Cup appearance.
• With only an overtime win over Philadelphia and a victory over the winless Predators, defense and goaltending have been problematic for the group. Allowing an average of four goals per game, leading backstop Stuart Skinner is 1-3 with an .851 save percentage.
• On the other hand, Connor McDavid (6) and Leon Draisaitl (5) expectedly lead the offense in points through six games.

Injury Updates

• Forward Jesper Fast was ruled out for the 2024-25 season in August after having neck surgery.
• Defenseman Riley Stillman (lower-body injury) has worked in a no-contact sweater since training camp started on September 19.
