Two winning streaks collide tonight as the Carolina Hurricanes (28-14-3) visit the Detroit Red Wings (27-15-4) for a game at Little Caesars Arena. Game time is 7 P.M. Eastern.
The Canes have a four game winning streak while the Wings have won three straight.
Carolina is 6-4-0 in their last 10 games while Detroit is 7-2-1.
Both teams lead their respective Divisions and are battling for first place in the Eastern Conference.
It does not appear that there was a morning skate for the Hurricanes so we will assume their lines will be similar to their most recent games.
Either Brandon Bussi or Fred Andersen could go in net. Bussi played in the game on Saturday night so if Brind’Amour chooses to rotate his netminders as usual, it would be Andersen tonight.
The lines could look like the following:
Svechnikov – Aho- Ehlers
Jarvis – Staal – Martinook
Hall – Stankoven – Blake
Robinson – Jankowski – Carrier
Slavin – Chatfield
Walker – Miller
Gostisbehere – Nikishin
This is the first game of a back-to-back for Carolina who will then face another back-to-back after a couple of days off.
Detroit will be retiring the number 91 of Sergei Fedorov tonight.
It is interesting that they are choosing a game against the Hurricanes to have this ceremony. I remember when Peter Karmanos, (original owner of the Hurricanes) got Fedorov to sign an offer sheet (1998) with some almost absurd numbers which Detroit owner, Mike Illitch had to match in order to keep his superstar.
It caused a bit of acrimony between the clubs at the time.
The Daily Faceoff has the Detroit lines as follows:
Finnie – Larkin – Kasper
Debrincat – Copp – Kane
Van Riemsdyk – Compher – Raymond
Soderblam – Rasmussen – Appleton
Edvinsson – Seider
Chiarot – Sandin – Pellikka
Johansson – Bernard – Docker
Look for John Gibson to be in net.
