THE QUICK HITS:
Last Time Out:In their first game back home after a 13-day road trip, the Canes took
a tough 6-2 defeat to the Islanders Friday
. Martin Necas continued his hot start to the campaign and Brent Burns recorded his first as a member of his new club, but it was New York's night as a whole. Goaltender Ilya Sorokin was strong throughout, denying 33 out of 35 and the Isles' penalty kill remained perfect on the season by going 3-for-3.
Post-game both Rod Brind'Amour and players alike were quick to credit New York for their efforts, however, they were also honest in saying that their team needs to be better.

Get Pucks On (And Through):In addition to their penalty kill, one area that the Islanders really excelled in Friday was blocking shots. They were credited with 28 over the course of 60 minutes. Tonight the Canes will be tasked with finding more lanes, specifically from the blue line, if they want to have success.
1100 & Some History For Staal:Carolina Captain Jordan Staal will play in his 1100th NHL game tonight. He is set to become just the third member of the 2006 draft class to reach the milestone, joining Phil Kessel and Milan Lucic. This evening will also be the 669th game of Staal's career with the Canes, passing Cam Ward for the fourth-most since the franchise relocated to Raleigh.
Shooting Star:Despite being held off the scoresheet in Friday night's defeat, Andrei Svechnikov's seven goals this season remain tied for second league-wide. Only Connor McDavid (8) has more.
Strong In The Dot:Paul Stastny started the season playing on the left wing of Staal and Jesper Fast. He's since moved to centering a line that also features Derek Stepan and Stefan Noesen. Since being back in the middle he's won 70.8% of his faceoffs, tops among all NHL centers that have taken at least 20 draws.
Give Me That:Defenseman Jaccob Slavin has 13 takeaways through seven games this year, tied for second in the NHL. Since the start of the 2015-16 season, his rookie year, no defenseman in the league has more (492).
Injury Report: Defenseman Calvin de Haan (day-to-day) has not played in either of the team's last two games. Forward Ondrej Kase remains out of the lineup and in concussion protocol since October 13.
On The Other Side:Under the guidance of new Head Coach John Torterella, Tony DeAngelo and the Philadelphia Flyers have had a hot start to their season. They've allowed just 17 goals in seven games and starting netminder Carter Hart has registered a save percentage of .947 in his five starts. Forward Kevin Hayes leads the group with 10 points in seven contests. Defenseman Ivan Provorov ranks third in the NHL with his 29 blocked shots.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
What Are We Wearing?:The Canes will be wearing their white uniforms tonight.
AFTER TODAY:
The Canes are scheduled to travel back to Raleigh post-game and have an off day slated for Sunday. They'll return to action Monday against the Washington Capitals at 7 p.m.
