Vancouver at Carolina

Rebuilding Vancouver is a long way from home and bad on defense again at #25 in goals allowed on the young season. This is the second straight road game for the Canucks on a six-game trek. They got smoked the last game, their first on the road in a 7-4 defeat at Calgary. Vancouver is on an 18-38 run, as well as 29-63 on the road. First-place Carolina is unbeaten, fresh off Sunday's 8-5 home victory over the New York Rangers. Carolina is 10-1 when facing a team with a winning percentage below .400. Hurricanes' goalie Petr Mrazek has turned aside 55-of-59 shots to win both career encounters versus the Canucks. The home team is 19-6-1 when these teams clash and this is a great spot for the home team again. Play Carolina.
