Scouting Reports:
- Sunday's game is only the second part of a back-to-back set this season for the Hurricanes, who'll have 14 more situations with games on consecutive days before the season concludes. "You try to take bits and pieces from each game and try to learn from that," Hurricanes defensemen Justin Faulk said. Carolina coach Bill Peters has stressed the importance of taking advantage of home games. The team managed to do that in the last homestand. "We want to establish a good brand of hockey and a tough building to play in," Hurricanes center Jeff Skinner said.
