Carolina is looking to get right back on the horse tonight when they take on the Vancouver Canucks.
The Hurricanes saw their four-game winning streak snapped on Tuesday at the hands of the Washington Capitals.
Carolina had had a tough schedule, with five games in eight days, so perhaps it was a one-off for the team.
Vancouver enters tonight’s contest with a ton of injuries and still a few more question marks in the lineup, most notably with captain Quinn Hughes.
The Canucks have lost their last two games in a row, most recently falling 5-3 to the Winnipeg Jets.
