The Hurricanes have established themselves as a streaky team early on, winning two straight on the road early but then cooling off to hockey .500. The Hurricanes will face a tough test yet again tonight as they take on the second best team in the Eastern Conference in enemy territory. The club will need to find some consistent scoring presence if they want to pick up points and avoid falling below the midway line for the first time this season.
