• Lack allowed two goals on 26 shots in the Hurricanes win in Calgary on Thursday. It was a much better performance than his season debut and earned him a second straight start. Tonight he faces a Philadelphia team that has lost three straight games but they’ve been averaging 3.25 goals per game so far this season.

• Mason allowed three goals on 26 shots in the Flyers loss to the Ducks on Thursday. Mason has yet to record a win in two starts and one relief appearance this season, while posting a 3.47 GAA and .875 SV% in the process. He draws a fairly tough matchup tonight against a Carolina team who is surprisingly averaging 3.25 goals per game to kick off this season.

• The Hurricanes come into tonight in the Top 5 of both the power play at 31.2 percent and penalty kill at 93.8 percent. The Canes have scored five of their 13 total goals on the man-advantage, recording a power-play goal in three of their four games, while also killing off 11 straight penalties over the last three games, including six in their last game, a 4-2 win over Calgary.
