Carolina Hurricanes enter Thursday's rematch at Nationwide Arena with momentum after a 5-2 road win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday, where Nikolaj Ehlers notched three points and Carolina converted three power-play goals to hit the 100-point mark atop the Metropolitan Division at 47-21-6. Blue Jackets, enduring a four-game skid amid a wild card push with eight contests left (38-25-12 record), showed grit but absorbed injuries including defenseman Brendan Smith (knee, out), Mathieu Olivier (upper body, out), Dmitri Voronkov (hand, out), and Isac Lundestrom (undisclosed, day-to-day). Hurricanes manage without backup goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov (hip, IR), leveraging elite power play (20-8-1 when scoring PP) and recent head-to-head edge against a short-turnaround Columbus squad desperate for points.
