RALEIGH, N.C. - The NHL's co-leader in scoring, Martin Necas, leads the Carolina Hurricanes into battle against the New York Rangers on Wednesday.
With 35 points in 21 games this season, #88 will look to keep his momentum going after yet another multi-point performance and scoring the game-winning goal on Monday against Dallas. Necas is the first #Canes player to lead the NHL in scoring (outright or tied, minimum 20 games played) since Rod Brind’Amour was tied with Marian Hossa on Nov. 18, 2006.
In addition to Necas, the Canes will need Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis, who combined for seven points in the team's most recent win.
Behind it all, the expectation is that Spencer Martin will try for a second consecutive victory. Brind'Amour shared pre-game that Pyotr Kochetkov is "feeling good" and was able to get on the ice today, but is still in concussion protocol.
