Game 35 Preview: Bruins @ Carolina LET'S JUST PLAY ALL THE SOUTHEAST TEAMS BEFORE 2009

Dec 27, 2008 7:00 PM ET

TV: NESN
Radio: WBZ
@ Carolina Hurricanes (17-14-5)
Notes:

• Last night, Eric Staal netted a hat trick in 4:31 of the third period as the Hurricanes came back to win. Expect a quick start from the 'Canes.
• The Hurricanes are hosting the Atlanta Thrashers for a new year's eve party. That's kinda a cool idea.
• Rod Brind'Amour has a league-worst -23 +/- rating.
• Lucic has an 8-game scoring streak
• The Bruins have a 6-game winning streak going for the first time this season.
  
• Krejci has a one game hiccup in his long scoring streak.
  
• Justin St. Pierre will be a ref tonight. I wonder if he's related to Martin St. Pierre?
• The Canes don't take penalties.
• Aaron Ward is making the trip, as is Nokelainen.
