Game 3 of the season, game 2 of Canes After Dark. Seattle has a new mascot and a couple of new players but still look a bit like the inaugural version ... giving up goals in clusters. At least they've been scoring, which must be nice for the fans after that dire first season. Martin Jones started their last 2 after Grubauer barfed up 5 in their opener, but I think they intend to split the load pretty evenly so Carolina could see Grubie tonight. Either way, Seattle play a territorial game not unlike Carolina's and they were an uncomfortable matchup for the Canes last season. This one could get a little grubby, is what I'm sayin ...
For Carolina, they don't play again until Thursday so there's no reason Andersen can't take this start. Kase is still in concussion protocol and I haven't seen that they've recalled another forward, so Noesen is in and the forward group should be the same as in San Jose on Friday. We might see a different 3rd pairing on D for this one, but we'll see what we hear from the morning skate.
