Utah, and Carolina, who are looking for a boosting – field media

The scoring was a disadvantage of the Utah hockey club and the hurricanes of Carolina in the last few weeks.

Deciding this will be crucial to both teams when they meet on Saturday afternoon in Ralei, North Carolina

The hurricanes, who will be in their last game before a two -week dismissal, lost three consecutive matches for the second time this season, so they hope to avoid their first four games for the season.

In a 2: 1 loss in Minnesota, hurricanes have 38-24 advantages for shots.

“We have certainly deserved to get something out of this,” said coach Rod Brind’Amur. “This is the species that we have gone throughout the year.”

Utah, who has a quick turn on Sunday in Washington, before the vacation in the NHL schedule began, won two in a row after losing five games. Both positive results were 3-2 solutions in sequels, including Thursday night in Columbus.

“When you are in these situations more often, it becomes more and more comfortable,” said Utah striker Dylan Guenter. “We will be in many of these (near -games) moving forward.”

Gunter has three goals, including a pair of winners in, in two matches since he returned into action after about a month’s break due to a lower body injury.

However, Utah has passed seven consecutive games without scoring more than two goals in regulation.

Carolina striker Rookie Jackson Blake said that the recent immersion of his team in the assessment was disappointing, but he was looking at the game of Utah as a chance to eliminate some of the problems.

“We have to take advantage, including myself,” Blake said. “I have to find ways to put it on the web. We have scored only one goal in the last two games. This will not win you many hockey games. We just have to find a way. “

Attacker Sebastian Aho has scored four goals in the last six games for Carolina, including the lonely part in Minnesota.

Since the beginning of January, Carolina has been 2-for-46 for power plays.

“Our power game stinks. I’ll just leave it on it, ”said Brind’Amur. “We need to find a way to score some goals. I don’t know what the answer is. We certainly release good opportunities, we just have to finish. “

The lack of production in special teams is dressed in hurricanes.

“One of the things that we just have to get to be is our special teams,” said defender Jacob Slavin. “Our murder did a good job, but the power of playing, we have to take down there and get some goals. Many times this is the difference in the game. “

Hurricanes recently used different combinations of the composition, even going with 11 ahead in a recent game. Defender Scott Morow was out of the squad on Thursday.

Utah is 14-10-3 in the road games.

Utah won 4-1 against Carolina at home in mid-November, with Nick Bugstad scoring two goals. The hurricanes received a goal from Martin Nadas, who now plays for the avalanche of Colorado.

Bjugstad has five goals this season, but only one in the last 19 games.
