Tonight, the Carolina Hurricanes host the Pittsburgh Penguins for a good old-fashioned Metropolitan Division standoff.
This will be the first game of a back-to-back at PNC Arena this weekend. Tomorrow’s opponent will be the struggling Vancouver Canucks.
The Canes and Penguins faced off three times in less than a month prior to the holidays.
The boys from Raleigh came out on top in all three contests, with two of those victories in OT. All three games were decided by just one goal.
Currently, the Penguins hold the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference with 48 points in 41 games.
