This is a 10* on CAROLINA

Carolina is starting to make a move for the playoffs. With their own three-game win streak and Pittsburgh losing four in a row, the Hurricanes are now just a point back of the second Wild Card in the Eastern Conference. All three wins during the current streak have come on the road and two were shutouts, the most recent coming Friday (3-0) over the Rangers. You could say New Jersey is going in the other direction as they've lost three straight and seven of nine. Truthfully though, the Devils have been headed in the wrong direction all season. They're the last place team in the Metro and with just 48 points any realistic hope of making the playoffs is out the window. Making matters tougher today is that NJ played yesterday. They lost 4-2 to the Wild, their 5th straight loss at home. This is Carolina's third game in four days, but they've won seven straight in that situation. New Jersey is just 1-7 the last eight times it has played the second game of a back to back. Play on CAROLINA
