Game Notes
CAR
?Scott Darling (8-9-6, 2.64 GAA, .903 Sv%) will likely start for the Hurricanes
?Carolina is the top ranked possession team in the league, with a CF% of 54.24%
?The Canes sit 4 points behind the Islanders for the final wild card spot in the East, but Carolina also has a game in hand
?Teuvo Teravainen is showing how streaky forwards can be this season: Teuvo scored 19 points in 14 games between Oct. 26-Nov. 22, since then he has just 3 points in his past 11 games
TOR
?Andersen (17-10-1, 2.67 GAA, .922 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?The Leafs will be celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the league's first official game played: a match between the hometown Montreal Wanderers and the Toronto Hockey Club on December 19th, 1917
?An injury to Zaitsev will mean Connor Carrick finally draws back into the line-up. He was re-united with Gardiner at practice. The two were a regular pairing last season and put up a 54.3% CF and 62.1% GF in almost 700 minutes together
?Matthews missed practice on Monday, suggesting that he won't play. Babcock had Nylander back in the middle at practice
?Yes, the game-time is at 2pm. No, I don't really know why.
