Canes Offense

Line 1: Left Wing/Center Seth Jarvis, Center Sebastian Aho, Right Wing Jackson Blake

Line 2: Left Wing Taylor Hall, Center Jesperi Kotkaniemi, and Right Wing Andrei Svechnikov

Line 3: Right Wing Jordan Martinook, Center Jordan Staal, Left Wing Logan Stankoven

Line 4: Left Wing Eric Robinson, Center Jack Roslovic, Right Wing William Carrier

Injured: Left wing Jesper Fast

The Hurricanes rank sixth in goal differential this season at +40. As a team, the Hurricanes players have 646 points cumulatively so far this season, which is good for the ninth-highest among NHL squads.

No team got more shot attempts per 60 minutes in the National Hockey League last season than Carolina, at 58.44 per game. There were many nights when they couldn't convert enough of those shots into goals.

Despite being a great team, the Canes have struggled to convert their shots into goals. So far, they've not answered the call, ranking 21st in shooting percentage (10.2%).

Center Sebastian Aho finished the season by leading the offense with 29 goals and 45 assists so far this season. He has a lot of talented, if unheralded, teammates on the forward lines. Center Seth Jarvis supported Aho's scoring well thus far, with 32 goals of his own. If the Canes can get some production from their third and fourth line, they will go very far in the playoffs.

Carolina Hurricanes Defense Pairings

Line 1: Jaccob Slavin and Brent Burns

Line 2: Dmitry Orlov and Jalen Chatfield

Line 3:Shayne Gostisbehere and Sean Walker

The Hurricanes have an excellent defense led by Jaccob Slavin. He might be the best defenseman you've never heard of. He's big and very smooth with the puck in his own zone, and he usually adds 30-40 points of offense a year, too.

Veteran Brent Burns is his defensive partner, and he had a fine first season with the Hurricanes after many years in San Jose. Burns is 40, but he doesn't play like it. In fact, he is second on the team in ice time and one of the game's smartest players at both ends.

Carolina Hurricanes Goaltending

Frederik Andersen
Pytor Kochetkov

Goaltending has improved this season. Whereas it was seen as a weakness last season, it is currently a strength, ironically, with the same two goaltenders. Pyotr Kochetkov finished the season with a mark of 27-16-3 with a 2.60 goals-against average and a save percentage of .897 through 47 games. Meanwhile, Frederik Andersen went 13-8-1 with a 2.50 goals-against average and a save percentage of .899. Both have been instrumental in ensuring that the Hurricanes rank seventh in goals against this season.

Defensively, Jaccob Slavin and Brent Burns are the top pairing, and they have gotten plenty of ice time from coach Rod Brind'Amour. Carolina's defense has a good 3-4 pairing as well, with Sean Walker and Shayne Gostisbehere

Pyotr Kochetkov filled in for Frederik Andersen, who was sidelined for a few months. They are currently in a 2/1 rotation.
