Carolina suffered a no-rest road loss vs the Ducks last time out. They are still on the road, but have had 4 days off. The 'Canes are a very good road team this year, facing the Knights who are less effective at home. Carolina sports the second best defense and fifth-ranked PK, combined with a top nine offense. The Knights are good on defense (10th, 2.8 GA), poor on the PK, and only average on offense this season. They managed 0 goals against a stiff Colorado D last time out, and the Hurricanes are a definite step up from the Avs.
The 'Canes are 8-2 lately, allowing just a minuscule 10 goals in those wins. Andersen had an off-game in the loss to the Ducks, but his previous three starts were superb. These two teams don't play each other often, but when they do it has been the 'Canes on top. I expect the same sort of result on Wednesday. Take the Hurricanes, rested and reset after that embarrassing Ducks loss, to steal this one on the road.
