Defenseman Ron Hainsey will be a game-time decision when the Carolina Hurricanes go for a fifth straight win. Hainsey missed the morning skate Tuesday because of an undisclosed injury. Klas Dahlbeck will be in the lineup if Hainsey is unavailable. "We'll shuffle the pairs up a little bit but we'll deal with that once we get a little more information on Ronnie," coach Bill Peters said. The Hurricanes won all four games on their homestand, including a 5-3 victory against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Jan. 10, to run their record to 14-1-1 in their past 16 home games. The Hurricanes are 6-11-6 on the road, where they play three of the next four. "We've played real well on the road. We haven't gotten some wins," Peters said. "Early in the year we had some games get away from us on the road so I don't mind how we play at home or on the road. It's just now we've got to start accumulating some wins on the road." The Blue Jackets might provide the cure. The Hurricanes are 9-1-2 in their past 12 games against the Blue Jackets, with wins in five of the past six games (5-1-0). "I don't know why that is," Hurricanes center Jordan Staal said. "They're a good team and we know we have to play our best to beat a team like that."
