As you’re likely aware, tonight the Kings take on the Carolina Hurricanes in Carolina, as they continue their second longest road-trip of the season. With any luck we’ll take a couple points away from the struggling ‘Canes, and head into the next game without the albatross of a losing “streak” on our shoulders.
Couple things to point out for tonight: First, Eric Ersberg is going to be getting his first start since playing against the Rangers in that loss. Quick has apparently struggled the last couple games, and Terry Murray felt like it was time to get Ersberg some time in net. We’ll see how he plays, and I’m sure all Kings core fans are rooting him on. O’Donnell is also getting some time off, with Martin Jones making his first start in a Kings uniform, and playing in his first game of the year. He’ll be paired (at least initially) with Jack Johnson, which should make for an interesting, and hopefully productive pairing.
I’ll be back with thoughts on the match, but in the meantime, anyone have any predictions? I’m going to say 4-1 Kings. Bring it home boys!
