TRACKING THE STORYLINES:

About Last Night: Just like their 7-1 victory Tuesday in Boston, the Canes got off to a strong start Friday versus New York. Carolina held the Rangers to just four shots in the opening 20 minutes, suffocating them with a possession-based attack. Vincent Trocheck and Seth Jarvis helped their team establish an early lead and then thanks to Frederik Andersen they were able to hold off a few pushback attempts. Eventually Jesper Fast, Sebastian Aho, Nino Niederreiter and Tony DeAngelo were able to also crack Alexandar Georgiev and the Canes moved to the top spot in the Metro.

Same-Day Travel: The Canes were supposed to head straight from PNC Arena to RDU Friday night, however, the airport was closed due to weather conditions after a plane went off the runway just hours earlier. So, the players and staff returned to their North Carolina bases and the team instead is scheduled to fly to New Jersey this morning.

Tony's Tear: Tony DeAngelo had three points in last night's victory over New York, just as he did Tuesday night against Boston. With those six he's now upped his season total to 31 points in 30 games, pacing all Canes defenseman. That total also has him ranked seventh in the NHL among all defenseman in points per game played.

Lineup Options: Post-game Friday Rod Brind'Amour did not commit to a starting goaltender for tonight. With Frederik Andersen having played in the win over the Rangers, logic would suggest that it would either be Antti Raanta or Jack LaFontaine. Raanta, who has made his way back from an upper-body injury, backed up Tuesday in Boston. LaFontaine, who has yet to make his first NHL start, backed up last night against New Jersey. Beyond goaltending, the status of Teuvo Teravainen, who left after two periods last night with a lower-body injury, is unknown. He may play tonight, but if he does not, Stefan Noesen, is available from the team's Taxi Squad.
