I don't know about you guys, but I'm working today.... 3PM!?!?

Last Time Out: The Canes claimed sole possession of the Metropolitan Division Sunday, holding on for a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Carolina scored exactly nine seconds into both the second and third periods, becoming the first team in NHL history to do so. Antti Raanta made 31 saves on the way to his 100th National Hockey League win.

Freddie In Philly: After Raanta got the start Sunday in the Steel City, it would appear that Frederik Andersen will be in the visitors net this afternoon. Post-game Brind'Amour cited it as a way for his All-Star netminder to get an extra day of rest, after he made 28 stops on 31 shots in Friday's win over Nashville.

Banged Up Bodies: Speaking of the victory over Nashville, in that game it was Seth Jarvis who entered as questionable with a lower-body injury. He would go on to play. Sunday in Pittsburgh it was Vincent Trocheck who was a game-time decision with an upper-body injury. He, too, would go on to play. Today the status of Brendan Smith remains up in the air after he left Sunday's victory with an upper-body injury. "Smitty" blocked a shot up high, ending his night after just 2:51 of ice time.

Good On The Road: The Canes are 17-7-2 away from PNC Arena this season. 17 wins in that department ties them with Pittsburgh for the most in the NHL.

Take Advantage, Turbo: With an assist on Sebastian Aho's power play goal Sunday afternoon, Teuvo Teravainen now has points in five straight games. In addition to producing the last few contests, #86 also has power play setups in eight of his last ten games played.

Finish Strong: This is the Canes eighth of 14 back-to-back sets this season. While they're now 6-1-1 in the opening half, they're a much more average 3-3-1 so far in game number twos.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Milestone Watch:  Derek Stepan is one point shy of 500 for his NHL career. Teravainen needs one more point for 300 as a member of the organization.

What Are We Wearing?: The team will be wearing their white sweaters today.

--------------------------------------

Smith took that shot right behind his ear hole and he may miss a couple games. Although I've not seen anything to suggest it, he may be in concussion protocol too. Getting hit like that can mess with the inner ear and cause some equilibrium problems. Hope he's okay.

I’m really hoping Smith is ok. Letting him travel is a good sign. But I’m worried about micro/hairline fractures. Hopefully they got him in for an MRI yesterday or today to check for bleeding, etc. I assume he’s probably at least in concussion protocol even if he isn’t concussed. I think judging by what Rod said on the radio pregame he thought it was going to be much much worse.

Svech with another penalty. Fug... the guy can play physical, but he's gotta earn how to do it within the rules.

First 3 PKs yesterday, the Canes allowed ZERO shots on goal.

 

He had a good long stretch the past while where he’s been good. Don’t know about that though if it was a bad cross check I figured Philly would have jumped him. Didn’t see it.

      Kraven has awful shitty comic book movie vibes all over it. It's just more of whatever studio owns the rights to the Spiderman set, but no longer actually has Spiderman anymore. Wicked is probably no more enjoyable. 3 hour long musicals are tough to endure.

      One of those guys who throws a pass that makes you yell "OMG" then immediately follows it with one that makes you go "WTF" 😳 Essentially the Brett Favre prototype...

      Panthers vs Bucs matchup

      By mav1234 · Posted

      The Giants games are an interesting comparison for sure. We could compare the Chiefs vs the Bucs as well, since at least both teams are largely the same as they are now, rather than the Giants whose coach lost his mind after losing to us. 30-24 KC in overtime. Hunt had 106 yards and Mahomes had 291. Baker threw for 200 yards, but 2 TDs. Their leading rusher had 25 yards or something. Our offense outperformed what the Bucs did vs KC, but being a division game we won't have the benefit of being overlooked. If our D plays how it did in the 4th quarter I think we can get some stops.  Can Bryce carry a second game? I'd rather not find out and have Chuba carry the load, but we'll see.
