Carolina at Dallas

The prospects of winning on the road do not look bright for the Carolina Hurricanes who have won just one time in nine tries away from home. That may be true until tonight. The Dallas Stars have been brutally disappointing on home ice where they own just a single win in nine tries, so something has to give in this one. The Carolina offense has been overmatched for the most part, but should have opportunities vs. a Dallas team that has coughed up 31 goals in their nine home games at 3.4 per contest. The Hurricanes have been at their best as an active team where they are 7-2 in their last nine when playing three games in four nights. Dallas' lack of offense has bred even more of a lack of offense as the Stars are a woeful 1-10 in their last 11 after scoring 2 or fewer goals in their previous contest. Take the road dog Carolina.
