Carolina at New Jersey

Carolina has won six of the past seven meetings, and the Hurricanes look to bounce back from a 5-2 loss at Nashville on Monday. New Jersey is 1-5 in its past six games against teams that allowed five goals in their previous game. Pyotr Kochetkov is likely in net for the Hurricanes, and he stopped 22 of 23 shots in a 3-1 win over the New York Rangers on Sunday. He is 14-6-0 with a 2.43 goals-against average and has allowed three or fewer goals in five straight starts. Carolina is out for payback after losing 4-2 to the Devils on Nov. 21 when Spencer Martin started and allowed four goals on 21 shots. It was the first time the Devils had beaten Carolina since May 7, 2023. Take the Hurricanes.
