Previous Meetings This Season

  • December 8: Despite trailing 2-0 after 40 minutes, the Canes fell apart in the third and lost 3-2 in Calgary.

Last Time Out

  • The Canes completed a regular season series sweep of the Devils on Saturday afternoon, taking a 4-2 victory.
  • Teuvo Teravainen led the way with three points and Evgeny Kuznetsov played 13 minutes in his team debut.
  • Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 24 out of 26, earning the win in net.

Perfect Penalty Kill

  • Carolina's penalty kill went 4/4 against New Jersey, improving their season total to 84.8%.
  • 73-for-83 (88%) since the turn of the new year, no team in the league has been better since.

In Net

  • After Kochetkov had the nod in net on Saturday, the team will either turn to Frederik Andersen or Spencer Martin today.
  • Andersen played his first game in five months on Thursday, returning from a blood-clotting issue that had him on the sidelines since November.  Will the team go back to him to try and get him in a groove, or will they keep Martin in the mix?
  • Martin has been great since being claimed off waivers on January 19, producing a record of 4-0-1 with a .922 save percentage (SV%).

On The Other Side

  • Although they are on the outside looking in on the Western Conference playoff picture and they moved some key pieces out before the trade deadline, the Flames are 9-5 since the All-Star break.
  • Wrapping up a three-game road trip today, Nazem Kadri has led the way for Calgary in terms of point production, producing 16 points during the aforementioned 16 games.
  • Jacob Markstrom has played 41 of the team's 63 games this season, posting a .910 SV%.
  • On special teams, the group's power play ranks 29th in the NHL (14.7%), but their penalty kill is second among all teams in the West (83.7%).

Injury Updates

  • Newly acquired forward Jake Guentzel suffered an upper-body injury while playing with the Pittsburgh Penguins on February 14. He will be examined by Carolina's team doctors upon arrival in Raleigh. He has been skating and is expected to debut with his new team within the next week or two.
