TRACKING THE STORYLINES:
Are We Really Doing This?:Today is just the second time since December 13 that the Canes will play a road game. The team had an unbelievable comeback on New Year's Day in Columbus and has had five other road games postponed since mid-December. Carolina is 13-4-1 away from PNC Arena this year.
Red Hot B's:Boston comes into tonight's contest having won their last five in a row. They also have eight wins in their last ten games, which ranks tied among all 32 NHL clubs.
More Potential Franchise History:The Canes enter tonight's game with 35 consecutive penalties killed off, one shy of matching the team's franchise record. 36 has been achieved twice, once during the 2000-01 season and again during the 2014-15 campaign.
Slavin Maybe Available, Necas Out:Carolina defenseman Jaccob Slavin will be eligible to play tonight after rejoining the team at Monday's practice, following his stint on the COVID Protocol list. While he is eligible, we've also seen players miss their first game back on occasions this year to allow them more time to get their legs back under them an up to game speed after being inactive for a few days. As Slavin came off protocol, forward Martin Necas entered and will miss tonight's game.
