The Canes close out the home portion of the first half against the Kings.
Coming off what was possibly their best game of the season, the Canes took yesterday off with no practice or media availability. We’ll see about Slavin and who is in goal at the skate, but with a game in Buffalo tomorrow, Raanta will play one of them.
The Kings are in a dogfight in the Pacific, 3rd with 62 points in 50 games. But the top 4 are separated by 4 points. They lost in Tampa on Saturday but had won their previous 3 including Friday against the Panthers. They’re 6-4 in their last 10. Adrian Kempe leads with 20 goals, Kevin Fiala has 35 assists and is averaging a point per game. Like the Canes, the Kings have used 3 goalies this season. Ancient Jonathan Quick has started 24 games and has not been good, 3.41/.881. In his last 10 starts he’s only had a save % above .900 twice. Pheonix Copley has started 19 games and has better numbers than Quick, he’s at 2.82/.901. The Kings are 14th in goals per game, 23rd in goals against. They’re 10th on the PP, 24th on the PK.
