The Carolina Hurricanes will be facing their biggest challenge of the season tonight as they take on Pacific Division leading Vegas Golden Knights.
Carolina remains as the only undefeated team left in the league, staring the season 5-0-0 after an overtime win Saturday night over the LA Kings.
The Hurricanes haven’t even been fully healthy this year either and they’ll again be without Jaccob Slavin, Pyotr Kochetkov and now even Shayne Gostisbehere as they take on the NHL’s top-scoring offense.
The Golden Knights enter tonight’s game on a three-game winning streak, most recently smashing the Calgary Flames 6-1.
Vegas is averaging 4.33 goals per game with center Jack Eichel leading the entire league in scoring, with 15 points already on the season.
The big weakness though for the Golden Knights is keeping goals out of their own nets as both of their netminders are sub 0.900 and they also are dealing with some key injuries.
