The Carolina Hurricanes look to extend their winning streak to four games when they visit the Toronto Maple Leafs on November 9 at Scotiabank Arena. The game is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. and will be broadcast on FDSN Hurricanes and 999 The Fan.
In their most recent outing, the Hurricanes secured a 6-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres, with Eric Robinson scoring the game-winning goal in the third period. William Carrier and Robinson both returned to the lineup that night, initially flanking Jesperi Kotkaniemi before Carrier shifted to join Jordan Staal and Jordan Martinook mid-game. Carrier had been sidelined since an injury on October 23.
Andrei Svechnikov has been a standout, recording six points—including four goals—in his last six games. He was one of four Hurricanes with multiple points against Buffalo, alongside Sebastian Aho, Kotkaniemi, and Charles Alexis Legault.
Brandon Bussi will start in net, marking his fifth NHL appearance and first since a 26-save win over the New York Islanders on October 30.
