11/24 Game Thread: Canes (14-2-1) @ Seattle (5-12-1) PUCK DROP: 10PM EST

[Anybodyhome]

Another late night watching the Canes. But it doesn't look like we're the only ones with sleep deprivation. Carolina's offense was anemic in a Monday night OTL.

One of my favorite Seattle bands and let's hope Carolina can keep men out of the box tonight:

First Time Here: The Canes will become the tenth NHL club to come to Climate Pledge Arena this season, which hosted its first hockey game one month ago yesterday. The Kraken have four of their five wins this season on home ice, so there is certainly an element of home cooking.

Looking For More: Carolina will hope to generate more offense this evening, scoring just one goal in Monday's defeat to San Jose. Despite that, Rod Brind'Amour thought his team's effort was much better than Saturday's win in Los Angeles, where they scored five. When citing one area he hopes to see improvement, the power play was the first thing mentioned by the head coach. The team's man advantage unit currently ranks 8th in the NHL, operating at a clip of 22.4%.

Offensive Potential: Although the standings show the Kraken at the bottom of the Pacific Division standings, they rank in the middle of the league with their 52 goals scored. Carolina sits at number ten with just five more. Keep that in mind as we watch tonight's game though, because while Seattle has not had a difficult time scoring, they do struggle with giving up goals. Their 68 allowed this season through 18 games ranks third last in all of the NHL.

No projected lineups yet, still a couple hours away from deadline.

Old teammates Hayden Fleury and Morgan Geekie will be in Kraken green tonite.

Wait what? Skjei is our highest +/- in the past 5 games?

Lineups:

 

 

 

 

Most noticeable- Svech on the 3rd line with Staal and Fast. RBA wants him to get some better looks at the net.

There are a handful of players on the Kraken roster that have given the Canes trouble over the past few seasons: Eberle, Gourde, Jarnkrok and Donskoi come to mind.

Keep guys out of the box like they did Monday and they'll be okay. But you gotta shoot the puck- 23 shots is not going to get it done unless Andersen pitches a shutout.

Ya we gotta get shots on net. Teams are selling out to block our shots and it’s working so far.

Will switch game on as soon as Planes, Trains and Automobiles has finished…..happy thanksgiving eve gents.

Stay out of the box, more shots and more net front. Oh and start dominating face offs again…cost us Monday and nearly did against Kings who scored two off face off wins

[MillionDollarCam]

About to land in Orlando and should be ready to roll by period number two…. sending good vibes for a first period lead.

Nice to see we are carrying on where we left off. Zero zip about our play

[Anybodyhome]

Very disjointed offense. No pace, no plan. Looks like a street game.

[Anybodyhome]

Brendan Smith!

That pass from TDA... WOW! And Staal with the net front.

Pretty beautiful.

[Harbingers]

Fugging refs, really? On Slavin? 

[Harbingers]

Also why are we playing Andersen? Does this mean Raanta starts against philly in philly?
