The division-leading Carolina Hurricanes looking to continue their dominance over the New Jersey Devils as the road trip rolls on Thursday.
Winners of 14 of their first 18 games, the Carolina Hurricanes roll into the Prudential Center on Thursday night to face off against the New Jersey Devils in search of their ninth win in 10 games in the series. New Jersey has won seven of its last 10 games paced by a defense that is allowing just 2.67 goals per game and has held 11 of its last 12 opponents to three goals or less. Meanwhile Carolina ranks in the top three in both goals scored and goals allowed per game and boasts a top-five penalty killing unit that is stopping 85.7 percent of chances against the man advantage.

The Devils young core of centers Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier alongside winger Jesper Bratt have combined for 66 points through the first 21 games of the season with all three collecting 20 points or more. All three are under 26-years-old and have all tallied 300 or more points in their young careers as the 23-year-old Hughes collected his 300th career point on a first period goal in New Jersey’s 4-1 win over the defending Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers nine days ago.
Hurricanes center Martin Necas leads the team in goals, assists and points and comes into this game after his 13-game points streak was snapped on Wednesday. In his sixth season with Carolina, Necas is having a breakout season after setting a career-high 71 points two years ago and is currently on pace to eclipse that mark before February.
Carolina has dominated this series, winning eight of the last nine contests and each of the last six meetings. The Hurricanes have also won four of the last six games played in New Jersey with each of the last two wins coming by a combined 10-3 score.
