After putting it all together against the Devils over the weekend, the Canes need to keep their focus as the struggling Stars pay them on visit on Monday night.
A fight broke out this weekend between Greensboro and South Carolina, with a Hurricanes prospect jumping into the spotlight as the video makes the rounds.
The former MVP and Devil had a goal and an assist as the Canes made New Jersey pay for their mistakes to halt a three-game losing streak in Newark on Sunday.
After having another multi-goal lead slip through their fingers, the Canes must find a way to leave it in Raleigh and earn two important points in Newark.
Each member of the top line scored again, but the Whalers surrendered a 3-1 lead after two by allowing four goals in the third in a 5-3 loss to the Nordiques.
January has the makings of a grueling month, especially to start, as the Hurricanes try to maintain their good standing in the division and the conference.
