Canes vs Ducks

Last Time Out: The Canes arrived in California already having started their road trip with two wins and Saturday night they made it a third. Brady Skjei scored just 4:01 in for the visitors and Martin Necas doubled the team's lead before the end of the first. Sebastian Aho made it 3-0 in the second and thanks to some more quality goaltending from Pyotr Kochetkov, Carolina was able to withstand a third period push by the Kings. Andrei Svechnikov added a fourth goal for Rod Brind'Amour's club and the team was able to close out a 4-2 victory from there.

Turbo Is Back: Another victory within the team's victory was the return of forward Teuvo Teravainen. After missing 10 games due to an upper-body injury, #86 played 15:47 in his return, registering two shots, one block and one takeaway. Prior to his injury he had produced four assists in four games.

Cookin' On The Power Play: Martin Necas' 12th goal of the year on Saturday came on the power play, at the time improving Carolina's run to six for their last 14. They've now published a power play goal in four of their last five games.

Hot Hand In Net: Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 31 of 33 shots faced in net at Cyrpto.com Arena, earning his fifth win of the season. He has now won each of his last three games played (11/29-12/3), marking the longest win streak by any Canes netminder this season, and he has posted a .934 save percentage over that stretch, with 71 saves on 76 shots. Kochetkov has allowed two or fewer goals in six of his nine appearances this season, and in seven of his eight career wins. Saturday's game marked just his 10th career NHL/Hurricanes start, and his eight wins are the most in franchise history through any goaltender's first 10 career starts. Only six netminders in league history have posted nine wins through their first 10 starts, and only three this century: Martin Prusek (OTT, 2002-03), Viktor Fasth (ANA, 2013) and Igor Shesterkin (NYR, 2020).

On A Run: Seth Jarvis extended his season-long point streak to five games in the win over the Kings, recording an assist on Sebastian Aho's second period goal. Martin Necas follows right behind him with at least one point in his last four outings.

On The Other Side: The Ducks have struggled to start their season, currently touting a league-low 15 points in the standings. They've the only theam in the NHL allowing an average of over four goals per game and only four teams have scored fewer goals than them. Their penalty kill sits last at just 65.6% and their power play ranks 30th at just a 16.0% success rate. The core of their roster remains very young, as Troy Terry (26) and Trevor Zegras (22) lead the team in points through 26 games.

I know it shouldn't, but this scares me...

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
