Where – Lenovo Center; Raleigh, NC
How to Watch – FanDuel Sports Network South, SNE, SNO, SNW
The Carolina Hurricanes will look to carry on the good vibes as they host the Calgary Flames for the first time this season.
The Canes are coming off of a 5-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets, a game in which Seth Jarvis registered his second career hat trick and goaltender Brandon Bussi picked up his sixth career win in seven starts.
The Hurricanes haven’t had the best go at special teams this season, but perhaps they’ll have better luck against the league’s worst team.
However, despite dwelling at the basement, the Flames have been a bit hot as of late.
Calgary has won four of their last five outings and most recently are coming off of a 5-3 win over the Florida Panthers on Friday.
No game in the NHL is easy and the Flames look like they’re going to be quite handful, so the Canes are going to need to come out of the gate with their A-game if they want to start stringing together some wins.
