The Canes close out the homestand and season series against the Bolts.
The Canes mounted a furious comeback against the Bruins on Sunday, tied it in regulation but couldn’t get it over the line. Freddie gave up a couple of softies but also had a couple of 10 bell saves that kept the team in it. The team didn’t practice or hold media availability yesterday, so we’ll have to wait until the morning skate for any lineup decisions.
The Bolts have lost contact with the Leafs for 2nd in the Atlantic. They’re 7 points behind, 4-5-1 in their last 10 and losers of 4 straight. They only scored 7 goals in those 4 losses. But…Point is 5th in the league with 45 goals, Kucherov is 2nd in the league with 74 assists. And they have 9 guys with at least 10 goals. They can erupt at any time. Vasilevskiy has started 55 games, his save % is just outside the top 10 but his GAA isn’t great at 2.69. Brian Elliott backs him up and he’s at 3.30/.891. The Bolts are 10th in goals per game, 13th in goals against. They’re 5th on the PP and 16th on the PK.
It’s generic bobble head night, with Jaccob Slavin’s name on the bottom. At least they got the beard right. Black jerseys, Bally Sports South for TV.
