Last Time Out...

• Using three power play goals, the Canes cruised past the Penguins by a score of 5-1 on Sunday.
• Putting on a clinic against the league's top penalty kill, Seth Jarvis led the charge with a goal and two assists.
• Frederik Andersen won his fifth consecutive start in net, turning away 18 shots.

Season Series vs. MON...

• Jan. 1: Puck management problems cost the Canes in a 7-5 loss at Lenovo Center.

Jarv's Jumpin'...

• Coming off his fourth three-point performance of the season, Seth Jarvis enters tonight's contest on a three-game point streak (1G, 5A).
• Jarvis scored on Sunday and leads the team with 29 goals on the season — one shy of his third consecutive 30-goal campaign, a feat only five players in franchise history have pulled off.

In Net...

• The Canes have rolled a consistent rotation between Frederik Andersen and Brandon Bussi since returning to play from the Olympic break. Should that pattern hold, Bussi would be in line to start.
• Snapping a personal three-game skid on Friday against Toronto, the 27-year-old made 23 saves to improve to 26-6-1.

On The Other Side...

• One of the highest-scoring teams in the league this season, Montreal's 3.51 goals per game ranks third among all NHL clubs.
• As his team put up seven against the Islanders on Sunday afternoon, Cole Caufield drove the bus with a hat trick and two assists, upping his point total on the season to 74 in 68 games. His 43 goals on the season trail only Nathan MacKinnon (45).
• Hanging tough in the Eastern Conference playoff race, there aren't many flaws to Martin St. Louis' side, but one area of concern is the team's penalty kill. Owning the sixth-worst kill rate in the league (76.5%) on the year, two of the three goals the Habs conceded in their last outing came on the power play.

Injury Updates...

• Defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere (lower-body injury) left during the team's Mar. 6 win in Edmonton and did not return. Rod Brind'Amour said on Mar. 10 that he would likely miss a couple of games.
• Goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov (hip surgery) was declared "probably out for the year" by Rod Brind'Amour on Dec. 29.
