The Hurricanes have been showcasing a formidable performance on home ice, and they're set to continue that trend against the visiting Winnipeg Jets.

Recent games have seen the Hurricanes on an upward trajectory. Their last game was a testament to their offensive prowess, with a 6-3 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks.

This victory was built on strong even-strength play where they netted five goals.

The game prior saw them as guests in Las Vegas against the Golden Knights, where they secured another win with three goals and showcased defensive resilience by limiting their opponents to just one goal. Their goaltending was impeccable with a save percentage of 100 percent from 30 shots faced.
