Florida at Carolina

It would have been unthinkable to back this Hurricanes team through the worst period of games in franchise history. They still don't look like a solid team, coming out on the wrong side in eight of their past 11, but a quick look shows that eight of those were played on the road. What they have been able to do is re-establish good play at home as they have been in the money in five of their last seven. Florida drubbed them last night by a 6-3 count, so they have extra incentive at home where they have been tough of late. The Panthers are a money-burning 20-47 with no days of rest while the Hurricanes are now 72-34 in their last 106 on home ice vs. a team with a losing road mark. The Hurricanes get revenge here.
