Goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov is also on a roll with six consecutive wins.
Jack Roslovic stands out among NHL skaters with nine goals this season and all ten of his points have been earned at even strength. Kochetkov continues to start in goal due to Frederik Andersen's absence from injury.

They rank near the bottom of the league defensively but boast an effective power play percentage of 36.2%. Nathan MacKinnon leads the league with 25 points while Cale Makar leads defensemen with 23 points.
In terms of injuries for Carolina, Jesper Fast remains out for the season since August. Riley Stillman is progressing towards full fitness after practicing without restrictions since mid-October but no debut date is set yet according to coach Rod Brind'Amour. Goaltender Frederik Andersen remains sidelined week-to-week due to a lower-body injury.
The Hurricanes will wear their white uniforms for this game and are scheduled to practice on Sunday before playing against Vegas on Monday.
