Last 10 matches: Atlanta 2-5-3; Carolina 5-4-1
Atlanta center Todd White sat out Thursday’s game for what Anderson termed precautionary reasons but may Saturday. … Maurice said forward Sergei Samsonov (upper body) might be ready to play after missing six games, but was more likely to return Monday. Injured forwards Erik Cole (upper body) and Chad LaRose (lower body) are skating but “still not ready,” according to Maurice. Nor is defenseman Joe Corvo (leg). The Hurricanes are still at the bottom of the overall NHL standings, but they’ve finally got something to feel good about. Carolina had won three in a row before a 3-1 loss at Detroit on Thursday, moving them within two points of getting put of last place. However, they’re still 15 points out of a playoff spot. Atlanta has been playing better over the past week, going 2-1-1 on a four-game homestand after a nine-game losing streak that included seven losses on their longest road trip of the season.
Its only the second meeting of the season between the Southeast Division rivals. Atlanta won 6-4 at the RBCCenter in Raleigh on Nov. 27, scoring five times in the third period to overcome a 4-1 deficit. The teams play again in Atlanta in five days, then meet three times in March.
Atlanta captain Ilya Kovalchuk has goals in his last two goals and is 2-2-4 in that span. He is 18-17-35 in 21 career games at the RBCCenter. … Ray Whitney leads Carolina (14-25-7) with 14 goals and 32 points, and has four goals in six games after failing to score in eight straight from Dec. 16-31. Results and goal’s highlights, will be available soon.. stay tuned.
