The Canes look to extend the winning streak and stay in first place.
Colorado won last night to move past the Canes with 58 points, but the Canes still have the best points %. Trocheck is on an absolute heater, with 9 points in the 6 games since returning from injury. He’s had a point in each of the last 12 games he’s played. He and Aho are tied with 16 goals. Hamilton leads with 26 assists. With his shutout on Thursday, Ned moved into a tie with Mrazek with 3 shutouts. Both are in the top 10 in the league in goals against average, save % and shutouts. Despite all the statistical advantages, the Canes can’t take the Wings lightly, Detroit has won 2 of the 5 games so far, including the last game, a 4-2 loss in Detroit that ended the Canes’ 8 game winning streak.
The Wings are 3-5-2 in their last 10 and were dismantled, 7-1 by Nashville on Thursday. They’re last in the league in goals per game, 25th in goals against, 30th on the PP and 27th on the PK. Mantha and Fabbri lead with 10 goals, Hronek has 20 assists. Adam Erne has a 5 game point streak. Jonathan Bernier returned from a lower body injury that kept him out 3 weeks on Thursday and Nashville lit him up. He’s really only had 3 stinkers in his last 11 games though. Thomas Greiss played most of the games that Bernier missed with Calvin Pickard starting 3.
