Arena: BankAtlantic Center
Time: Saturday, March 06, 2010 at 7:00 PM ET
League: NHL – United States of America
Last 10 matches: Carolina 8-2-0; Florida 2-7-1
Hurricanes goalie Manny Legace has recorded a win against all 30 current NHL teams after he beat the Senators. … Frolik snapped a 16-game goal drought for the Panthers with his pair against the Flyers. Ward’s return for Carolina this season is uncertain due to back problems. … Florida forward Nathan Horton remains out with a broken tibia.
Sixth and final meeting of the regular season between these Southeast Division rivals. The Hurricanes have taken three of the first five matchups, including a 4-1 win on Feb. 9 in the most recent matchup. Each team has received balanced scoring, with a dozen players on each side registering at least one goal. However, the player with the most goals in the season series Matt Cullen, with three was traded from Carolina to Ottawa last month.
Two more victories and the Hurricanes would tie the club record of nine straight wins. That this could happen in a season that was all but considered lost at the start of February is a huge surprise, especially considering franchise goalie Cam Ward is once again on the shelf and the team traded several key players prior to the March 3 deadline. However, it’s possible Carolina could climb as high as 12th in the Eastern Conference standings by the end of Saturday. We will post results of this match, as soon as posible.. stay with us.
