Tampa Bay opens the season on the road, where they were 20-18-3 last year. Special teams are an area of concern after letting longtime star Stephen Stamkos leave. And the defense was 22nd in the NHL in goals allowed (3.26 per game) plus 26th in save percentage. Meanwhile, Carolina was 27-10-4 at home last season anchored by a defense that was fourth in goals allowed. Carolina also allowed an NHL-low 25.6 shots on goal per game. The Hurricanes are on a 10-3 run at home, so back home ice. Play Carolina.
