The team provided some big news regarding two of its injured stars, and the two call-ups got their marching orders at Friday's practice before hitting the road.

As the Canes hit the road with the festivities rolling into the fairgrounds, these are the stories to pay close attention to for the next five contests.

The team will continue to be under a microscope as they begin their annual road trip on Saturday in Winnipeg, but these three Canes are of particular interest.

The winger finishes with three points, including the go-ahead goal on the power play late in the third to get a big divisional win over the Capitals on Tuesday.

The team announced on Tuesday's morning skate that Jordan Staal is out for the next month or two after a freak accident ahead of Sunday's game in Philadelphia.

With everyone in the NHL on the calendar tonight, the Canes look for a little revenge as the Capitals visit Raleigh for the second time in less than two weeks.

The action on the ice was fast and furious this weekend, resulting in more wins for Carolina, but there was just as much going on off the ice for the team.

Aho, Svechnikov, and Carrier finish with a pair of points each as the Hurricanes remain perfect on the road and extend their win streak to five in Philadelphia.

Meeting in Philadelphia on consecutive weekends, the Hurricanes are in a much different spot than they were last weekend, though the Flyers appear stuck.

Blake, Martinook, and Reilly finish with multi-point nights, and Bussi turns in another strong performance as the Canes begin their weekend with a 5-2 victory.
