Game Notes |
CAR -Pyotr Kochetkov (15-9-1, 2.50 GAA, .902 Sv%) will likely start for the Hurricanes -Carolina lost a number of notable players during the 2024 offseason (Guentzel, Teravainen, Skjei, Pesce) but they still find themselves having a competitive season as they're currently 4th in the Eastern conference -Martin Necas, once a possible trade option, has been the teams MVP this season with 47 points in 41 games -Former Leaf Freddie Andersen has been limited to just 4 games this season. He had knee surgery in November and was on the ice for the first time since then on Wednesday. He's still a few weeks from playing but his next game will be the 500th of his career |
TOR -Joseph Woll (14-6-0, 2.46 GAA, .915 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs -I assume we'll be going back to the pre-Reaves game lines here but obviously confirmation of that will come at the morning skate |
