01:00 Carolina Hurricanes – Pittsburgh Penguins

The Hurricanes are trying to climb up in the standings in the Eastern Conference, but their efforts are insufficient, as the hosts managed to win only two or their last six games (2-4-0) and only four of their previous eight games at PNC Arena (4-3-1).

In the matter of fact, the Hurricanes won 4-2 against this opponent at Consol Energy Center yesterday, but two consecutive victories against team like Pittsburgh seem quite difficult task for Carolina.

The Penguins lost three of their last five games (2-2-1), but it doesn’t change the fact, that Pittsburgh is among the best teams in the Western Conference (15-5-2).

The hosts will be without Brett Bellemore (d / 0+3), while the Penguins will have to deal without Marcel Goc (c / 1+0) and Beau Bennett (rw / 1+2).
