The Hurricanes will begin a three-game road trip tonight when they take on the Central Division-leading Stars.
Carolina (30-16-5) hopes to leave Dallas (32-14-6) with its third win in a row following an OT victory against the Devils on Saturday and a 5-2 win over the Avalanche two days prior. The Canes also sit six points behind the Rangers for the top of the Metro, so a pair of points here would help close that gap.
On the flip side, the Stars entering tonight on the heels of a three-game road trip of their own. Dallas took two out of three up north coming out of the All-Star break with a pair of wins over the Sabres and Canadiens separated by a loss to the Maple Leafs.
