How to Watch – FanDuel Sports Network South
The Carolina Hurricanes return home for the first time in over two weeks as they finish out their season series with the Vegas Golden Knights (5-1-3).
The Canes capped out their road trip with a 3-2 loss to the Dallas Stars, finishing with a 4-2-0 record overall away from Lenovo Center.
It was a tough outing for Carolina, who was missing six regulars and scored two own-goals in the loss, but the bigger concern has been the ineffective power play, which is ranked dead last in the league.
Vegas is entering Tuesday’s contest on a two-game losing streak, most recently losing 2-1 to the Tampa Bay Lighting on Sunday.
