The Hurricanes will look to extend their winning streak to 12 games, their point streak to 18 games and improve to 11-1-0 against Metropolitan Division opponents as they get set to take on the New York Rangers for the first time this season tonight.
The Hurricanes’ lineup of 18 skaters will not change from Sunday’s shootout win in New Jersey. In goal, it could be Pyotr Kochetkov making his return for the first time since Dec. 20, as, per Canes reporter Walt Ruff, he was the first goalie off the ice this morning, though that was also the case Sunday and Antti Raanta started.
