at
Carolina Hurricanes (29-16-3, 43 points, 2nd Metro, 3rd East)
The Blue Jackets are in Raleigh for a big divisional matchup against the Hurricanes. Two of the three meetings between these teams this season have gone to shootouts, so we could be in for a wild one tonight.
Player to Watch
Adam Fantilli
Mo has undoubtedly stepped up his game since taking over first-line center duties for the injured Monahan. He now has 7-4-11 in his last 10 games, including a hat trick last night. Not only that, his defensive play has been as good as you could hope for for a 20-year-old.
Jackets Notes
There is yet to be word on the availability of either Sillinger (upper body, day-to-day) or Mateychuk (illness) tonight. Expect Tarasov to get the nod. Hopefully, he can pick up where he left off from his last start.
