Some interesting things going on with the Hurricanes lately. They fired their head coach recently, and hired a coach they previously fired in Paul Maurice, who was recently fired from the Toronto Maple leafs. Hall of Famer and Ex-Penguin Ron Francis will be joining Maurice behind the bench.
The last game saw the Canes Lose 4-1 to the Anahiem Ducks, to make matters worse, they lost their starting Goalie Cam Ward to a groin injury. Michael Leighton figures to get the start tonight and Justin Peters was called up for back-up duty.
Line According to Yahoo go something like this:
First Line: Ray Whitney/Rod Brind’Amour/Chad LaRose
Second Line: Sergei Samsonov/Eric Staal/Tuomo Ruutu/
Third Line: Ryan Bayda/Matt Cullen/Patrick Eaves
Fourth Line: Wade Brookbank/Brandon Sutter/Patrick Dwyer
Defensemen: Niclas Wallin/Joe Corvo/Frantisek Kaberle/Joni Pitkanen/Anton Babchuk/Josef Melichar. Any team is dangerous when they have Melichar on the blue line.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are coming off another blown third period lead. They gave the Rangers a win last night. They did end up with a point in the contest. If the Penguins are winning going into the third is it safe to shut the T.V. off and give them the loss.
Danny Sabourin had a decent game up unitl the shootout. all 3 shooters for the Rangers beat him, with Kris Letang getting the lone goal for the Penguins. Speaking of Kris Letang, he was an absolute beast last night.
