✅ The Carolina Hurricanes have the number one penalty killing unit in the NHL, but Toronto has the top power-play unit (29.6%). The Maple Leafs are third in goals per game at 3.68. Carolina is allowing 2.36 goals overall, but have been slightly worse on the road at 2.67 allowed per contest.
Carolina Hurricanes
The Carolina Hurricanes (41-13-5; 29-30 ATS) were defeated by the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday, 4-2. Carolina is 18-9-3 on the road this season and is 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. The Hurricanes sit atop the Metropolitan Division at 87 points, six points ahead of both the Rangers and Penguins.
Antti Raanta started for Carolina and struggled, stopping only 18 shots in the loss. One should expect to see Frederik Andersen back between the pipes. Andersen is 30-8-2 with a 2.06 goals-against average and a .929 save percentage. He has been solid over his last five games, allowing nine total goals, but gave up four in a loss to Washington on March 3. Carolina is the top team in goals allowed per game at 2.36.
Toronto Maple Leafs
The Toronto Maple Leafs (38-17-5 ATS 25-35 ATS) shut out the Dallas Stars on Tuesday, 4-0. The victory moved the Maple Leafs to 21-7-2 at home this season. They are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games, and are currently in third in the Atlantic Division, one point behind Tampa Bay for second place and seven points behind Florida for the top spot.
Erik Kallgren was spectacular in the shutout victory, stopping all 35 shots. Jack Campbell is still out for Toronto, so it could be Kallgen returning to start this contest. He has made just two starts this season, going 1-0-1 with a 0.66 goals-against average and a .978 save percentage. The Maple Leafs are 16th in goals allowed at 3.00 per game.
