When - 10 p.m., Monday, Nov. 11
Where - T-Mobile Arena; Las Vegas, NV
How to Watch - FanDuel Sports Network South, SCRIPPS, TVAS

The Carolina Hurricanes will look to bounce back from a 6-4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche as they face off against the Vegas Golden Knights (9-3-2) tonight.

Carolina blew two different second-period leads and allowed five goals in the middle frame to see their eight-game winning streak snapped on Saturday.

Spencer Martin was left out to dry a bit in his first start of the year and Jordan Martinook scored twice as he tried to keep his team in the game.

Despite the streak, the Hurricanes really haven't been at their best over the past three games and they do need to get back to the basics.

Vegas is coming off of a 4-3 overtime loss to the Seattle Kraken but have points in their last three games.

While the Golden Knights have been great at scoring, they've struggled a bit to keep pucks out of their own net so perhaps the Canes will be able to capitalize on that.

Streaks

  • Martin Necas (7g, 13a) has points in nine straight games, a career high.

  • Andrei Svechnikov (4g, 6a) has points in eight consecutive games.

  • Jordan Martinook (4g, 1a) has goals in three-straight games.

  • Sebastian Aho (4a) has points in three consecutive games.

  • Pyotr Kochetkov has recorded a win in six consecutive games, a career high.

Milestone Watch

  • Sebastian Aho is one game-winning goal shy of breaking Ron Francis' franchise record (57).

  • Eric Robinson is two points shy of 100 career points.

Game Notes

  • Carolina is 7-5-0 all-time against Vegas. Last season, the Canes went 2-0-0 against the Golden Knights.
