THE QUICK HITS:
Last Time Out:Despite allowing the first goal of the night, the Canes responded with four unanswered to take a 4-1 victory over Columbus Wednesday in their regular season opener. Martin Necas led the way with three points and Frederik Andersen backstopped the team with 31 stops.
Burnzie's Return:Defenseman Brent Burns will play his first game on the road for the Canes in a very familiar building. The 2016-17 Norris Trophy-winning defenseman played 798 games over the course of 11 seasons in the Bay Area and now comes back for the first time since being dealt in July. Carolina's new #8 made his presence felt during his new club's victory to start the year, playing 22:33 and leading the team with six shots on goal.
Bounce Back Marty:After leading the team with six points in three games during preseason play, forward Martin Necas has carried his hot streak into the games that count. With one goal and two assists in the effort, he matches the number of three-point outputs he had during the 2021-22 season.
