Players To Watch:

Carolina Hurricanes – Martin Necas leads the Hurricanes in points with 8 (3g, 5a) and has points in 4 of his last 5 games. In the one game that Necas was held off the score sheet Carolina lost, so if Necas records a point Carolina has an excellent chance of winning.

Seattle Kraken – Jared McCann has had a great start for the Kraken with 11 points (4g, 7a) in 8 games. McCann has blossomed in Seattle averaging 32 goals and over 28 assists in 3+ seasons in the Pacific Northwest. McCann had a career year in the 2022-23 season with 40 goals and 70 points.
