What - Game 25 (16-7-1)
When - 7 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 3
Where - Lenovo Center; Raleigh, NC
How to Watch - FanDuel Sports Network South

The Carolina Hurricanes are looking to get right as they return to Lenovo Center to take on the Seattle Kraken (11-13-1).

The Hurricanes are coming off of two blowout losses to the Florida Panthers (6-3 and 6-0) and will need a much better effort tonight if they want to get back into the win column.

Hopefully helping that along will be the return of netminder Pyotr Kochetkov who had missed the last four games due to a concussion.

With Kochetkov steadying the net, the team should be able to relax a bit more and get back to their game.

The Kraken come to Raleigh losers of three straight and four in their last five.

Seattle lost back-to-back games to the San Jose Sharks and have struggled to find much offensively this season.
