Carolina Hurricanes captain Jordan Staal will play in his 1,300th career game tonight against the Chicago Blackhawks. Not only will Staal become the 74th player in league history to reach that milestone, but he'll also become the first player from the 2006 draft class to reach it as well.

Staal logged two assists, three shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Blue Jackets. Staal earned his first multi-point effort since Jan. 10 versus the Canucks, though he still chipped in two points over the five games in between.

The Hurricanes tried to give Eric Staal a victory on his big day with a third-period rally, but the Ducks came away with an overtime win on Cutter Gauthier’s second goal of the game.

The franchise's leader in game-winning goals potted the 60th of his career on a one-timer teed up by Martin Necas 59 seconds into the extra frame, converting the only shot attempted by either club in overtime. Aho has scored the game-winner in all four of Carolina's overtime victories this season.

The Carolina Hurricanes had a big shakeup to their roster last night, adding superstar winger Mikko Rantanen and forward Taylor Hall in exchange for Martin Necas and Jack Drury. The two forward made their way to New York today and are in the lineup for the Canes' 7:30 game against the New York Islanders.

For a first impression, you could do a whole lot worse than Tony DeAngelo did in his Islanders’ debut on Saturday night.

Rantanen can become an unrestricted free agent July 1. He was available because the Avalanche couldn’t sign him to a long-term contract. Tulsky said the Hurricanes wanted to acquire Rantanen as long as possible before the NHL Trade Deadline on March 7 and have had only preliminary discussions with his camp.

New Carolina Hurricanes winger Mikko Rantanen is giving his two cents about being traded from the Colorado Avalanche.

After a whirlwind Friday night (Jan. 24) where the Carolina Hurricanes made their blockbuster trade, they set their sights on their next game. They were set to take on the New York Islanders at UBS Arena for a Metropolitan Division tilt in their 50th game of the 2024-25 season.
