ABOUT THE HURRICANES

RW Sebastian Aho and LW Teuvo Teravainen were tied for the club scoring lead with 50 points apiece heading into Friday’s game against the New Jersey Devils. Aho has a team-leading 23 goals, while Teravainen is third with 17.

D Jaccob Slavin led the team with 22:42 average ice time. He had five goals and 19 points in 64 games.

Veteran winger Jeff Skinner, who scored a career-high 37 goals last season, has 20 goals and 39 points after 64 games in 2017-18. The seventh-overall pick in the 2010 NHL Draft and Calder Trophy winner in 2010-11 has not played a post-season game in his seven previous seasons with the Hurricanes. The franchise has not qualified for the playoffs since losing in the Eastern Conference final in 2008-09.

Cam Ward and Scott Darling have split duties evenly with 32 starts apiece. Ward’s numbers are better with a .909 save percentage, 2.65 goals-against average and 18-9-4 record. Darling, a big off-season free-agent signing, has a 10-16-7 record with an .899 save percentage and 3.08 goals-against average.

LW Joakim Nordstrom (upper body) is questionable.
