Carolina Hurricanes @ Dallas Stars: Lineup, Game Preview and How to Watch

What - Game 48 (28-16-3)
When - 8 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 21
Where - American Airlines Center; Dallas, TX
How to Watch - ESPN+, hulu

The Carolina Hurricanes will play the second half of a road back-to-back tonight as they take on the Dallas Stars (29-16-1).

The Canes mounted a comeback effort last night to defeat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 in overtime in Frederik Andersen's first game back since October.

Therefore, it will be Pyotr Kochetkov manning the net tonight for Carolina.

Dallas is coming off of a 4-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday, but have won just two games in their last five overall.

The Stars are regarded as one of the best top-to-bottom teams in the NHL but they've had their fair shares of issues this year from injuries to top-line struggles.

Carolina and Dallas are also 2nd and 1st on the penalty kill respectively but in the bottom half of the league for power play percentage despite the talent that each team possesses.
