How to Watch – ESPN+, hulu
The Carolina Hurricanes will look to get back in the win column as they take on the New York Islanders tonight at home.
The Hurricanes enter today’s game on a two-game skid, having lost to the Dallas Stars and Vegas Golden Knights.
The Canes have been dealing with quite a few injuries, but have still been close in every game that they’ve lost despite that.
Carolina will also be hoping that their power play luck from Tuesday as well as Andrei Svechnikov’s first of the season can be a sign of good things to come for both moving forward.
New York also enters tonight’s game on a two-game losing streak, most recently losing 5-2 to Boston after leading that game 2-0 early.
The Islanders haven’t had consistent results this year, but one thing that has been working for them is 2025 first overall pick Matthew Schaefer, who looks already like an NHL regular even at 18 years of age.
