The Florida teams gave the Canes fits in their three games before the holidays, so this break should bring a rejuvenated crew back to the ice on Saturday.
The Carolina Hurricanes enter Saturday's contest as losers of their last three contests. In all three, they held a multi-goal lead at some point. Their most recent loss came before Christmas against the Florida Panthers. The Canes led 2-0 after 40 minutes before surrendering five goals to the Cats in the third period in a 5-2 loss.
