The Canes wrap up a 5 game homestand before heading west.
Father Finn pitched his 3rd shutout of the season, Svech and Jarvis stayed hot and Skjei scored from the bar at The Deck. Expect Freddie to get the start against his former team.
The Ducks have climbed out of last in the league, beating Washington on Thursday. They’re 3-5-2 in their last 10 and have 43 points in 58 games. They’re wrapping up a 4 game swing through the old Southeast Division, losing to Tampa and Florida before beating the Caps, which broke a 6 game losing streak. Trevor Zegras is worth the price of admission most nights and is their leading scorer with 19 goals and 29 assists, the latter tied with Troy Terry, who was just activated from IR. Adam Henrique replaced him on IR. They have 6 players with more than 10 goals but 5 players at -20 or worse, which puts them in the bottom 20 in the league. A regulation or OT win by the Canes tonight will push the Ducks goal differential back into triple digits; their -99 is 31 worse than next to last Columbus. Their goaltending is a mess. John Gibson has started 39 games and is at 4.01/.900. Anthony Stolarz is the nominal backup with 12 starts but he’s injured. Lukas Dostal was recalled from AHL San Diego after picking up co-MVP honors at their All-Star game. He hasn’t been good with the Ducks at 4.23/.895. As you’d imagine for a team as bad as the Ducks are, their team stats stink; DFL in goals for and against per game, 31st on the PP, 30th on the PK.
