Game Notes
- The Hurricanes and Rangers face off for the first of four meetings between the teams this season. Carolina will be in New York on November 27th and December 27th, and the teams will complete the series on February 21st in Raleigh.
- The teams split the season series 2-2-0 in 2018-19.
- The Canes broke the Madison Square Garden Curse last February, snapping a streak of 16 consecutive losses in Manhattan (0-13-3).
- We may see a new face in the lineup tonight. The Canes called up Eetu Luostarinen yesterday and he will make his NHL debut tonight.
- Tonight is the Canes’ first matchup against former high profile Hurricanes prospect Adam Fox. His rights were traded to the Rangers in exchange for a second round pick and a conditional third rounder in 2020.
- We also get a chance to say hello to old friend Greg McKegg, who signed with the Rangers in free agency.
Storm Advisory
- Dougie Hamilton hasn’t replaced his shin pads in 10 years. Hey, if they’re effective...
Dougie Hamilton has worn the same pair of shin pads since his first season of junior hockey in 2009.
