Carolina visits Nashville as they close out the second part of their back-to-back.
After defeating the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden yesterday afternoon, the Carolina Hurricanes traveled to Nashville to battle the Predators on Monday night. Puck drop is set for 8 P.M. Eastern.
With the short turn-around, look for Dustin Tokarski to be in net for Carolina. I would not expect any other changes to the line up.
The Canes are now 21-11-1 and their 43 points are good for third place in the Metropolitan. They are five points behind first place Washington and have a 5-5-0 record in their last ten.
They also have won just one game in their last six away games.
Nashville has had a rough time of it this season and they have a 10-17-7 record. They are just one point ahead of last place Chicago in the Central and have a 3-5-2 record in their last ten.
