Last Time Out...

• The Hurricanes overcame an early deficit to top the Anaheim Ducks 5-2 at Lenovo Center on Thursday.
• Jalen Chatfield's first goal and first multi-point performance of the season earned him first star honors, with Logan Stankoven and Taylor Hall each chipping in a goal and an assist as well.
• Frederik Andersen made 11 saves on 13 shots to end a nine-game winless skid and backstop his first victory since Nov. 6.

Stank's Streaking...

• Thursday night was a third consecutive victory for the Canes, and also the third straight game in which Logan Stankoven found twine.
• It's the second time in Stankoven's career that he has scored in at least three consecutive games, matching a run he enjoyed during the second, third and fourth games of his NHL career.
• The 22-year-old is also riding a career-best four-game point streak, notching five points in that span.

In Net...

• With Frederik Andersen starting on Thursday, it feels likely the Canes will turn to Brandon Bussi against Seattle this evening.
• Before Andersen got the nod on Thursday, Bussi backstopped a pair of wins in Carolina's two prior games, totaling 48 saves on 51 shots.
• He made more NHL history with his last win, becoming the fastest goalie in league history to reach 15 wins, doing so in just 18 appearances (15-2-1).
• Conversely, should the Canes elect to go back to Andersen, he'd be seeking his first set of back-to-back wins since topping Philadelphia and Anaheim on Oct. 11 and 16, respectively.

On The Other Side...

• Seattle suffered its first loss of 2026 on Thursday, snapping what had been a four-game winning streak. Still, the Kraken enter the fray with points in 10 straight tilts (8-0-2), recording a league-leading 18 points during that stretch.
• Part of that success has come on the back of a potent power play, which has produced goals at a 34.8% clip since the team's point streak began on Dec. 20 - good for second in the league in that span, one spot ahead of Carolina (32.1%).
• Captain Jordan Eberle leads his club in both goals (15) and points (28), and has found the scoresheet in seven of his last eight games.

Injury Updates...

• Forward Noah Philp entered concussion protocol on Jan. 6. He did not play on Thursday against Anaheim.
• Goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov is set to undergo hip surgery and was declared "probably out for the year" by Rod Brind'Amour on Dec. 29.
• Defenseman Jaccob Slavin suffered an upper-body injury on Dec. 19 in Florida. He was labeled as "week-to-week" and placed on injured reserve on Dec. 22, but has been practicing with the team in a standard sweater since Jan. 7.
• Defenseman Charles Alexis Legault suffered a cut to his hand via a skate blade on Nov. 9 and underwent surgery to repair lacerated tendons on Nov. 10. He is expected to miss three to four months.
