"Ø"Ø ABOUT THE CANES
Carolina has played 15 overtime games this season (7-8, fourth-most in the NHL) but has been to just one shootout (0-1). The Canes, Minnesota (0-2) and Winnipeg (0-2) are the only teams this season not to have won a shootout game.
Despite an 8-12-4 start, Carolina (54 points) remains relevant in the Eastern Conference playoff picture, just three points off the playoff line as of last night's play.
C Jordan Staal, after a 10-for-15 night Wednesday, leads all NHL players with a 60 per cent faceoff win rate.
The Canes, 7-3-1 in their last 11, play Game 2 of a three-game road trip tonight at the MTS Centre.
