The Canes face their first true test in an earlier edition of #CanesAfterDark
Seth Jarvis struck early and the Canes buried the Kraken on the strength of 3 unanswered goals after the Kraken got to within 1 to win going away, 5-1. The new look PP netted their first 2 goals of the season but the PK gave up their first. Andersen was stellar in net, allowing the 1 goal on 23 shots. Jarvis took a high hit but there were no reports of any issues. With Kase out, the only changes, if any, will come on the 3rd pairing. Dylan Coghlan made his Canes debut, playing his off side with Jalen Chatfield. He also ran the 2nd PP unit. We’ll probably see Andersen in goal.
Expected to contend this year, the Oilers have started slowly, with consecutive losses to Calgary and Buffalo following an opening night win over Vancouver. Connor McDavid leads with 4 goals, noted sniper Darnell Nurse is the only other with more than 1. Leon Draisaitl has 5 assists. Their PP is humming at 36.4%. Jack Campbell was brought in to be the starter in goal. He was OK in the opener against Vancouver but was pulled after allowing 4 goals on 1q shots in 10 minutes against Calgary. Stuart Skinner relieved him and got the start against the Slugs. Expect Campbell in goal tonight.
