Tampa Bay at Carolina

Carolina has been hot, but still has a losing record overall, ranked 17th in goals allowed, 26th in goals scored, and 29th on the power play. The Hurricanes are on a 4-10 run at home and 9-23 following a win. Carolina forward Elias Lindholm is doubtful because of a lower-body injury, and the team is 4-13 playing on one day of rest, as well as 2-10 against the Atlantic Division. They face one of the most talented teams in the Atlantic Division with streaky Tampa Bay in town, making the Stanley Cup Finals last season. The Lightning are 10-4 against a team with a losing record. Tampa Bay has performed well in recent matchups with its former Southeast Division foe, taking nine of the past 11, including a 6-1 mark at Carolina. Play Tampa Bay.
