Carolina Hurricanes captain Jordan Staal will play in his 1,300th career game tonight against the Chicago Blackhawks. Not only will Staal become the 74th player in league history to reach that milestone, but he'll also become the first player from the 2006 draft class to reach it as well.

Staal skated 431 games over six seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins, who drafted second overall in 2006, winning the Stanley Cup in 2009. He scored 120 goals and 248 points, earning All-Rookie Team honors and finishing third in Calder Trophy voting in 2006-07.

Staal logged two assists, three shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Blue Jackets. Staal earned his first multi-point effort since Jan. 10 versus the Canucks, though he still chipped in two points over the five games in between.

Jordan Staal and the Carolina Hurricanes will be in action on Tuesday at 7:00 PM ET, versus the New York Rangers. Fancy a bet on Staal? We have some numbers and figures to help you along the way. Staal Player Props Points Prop: Over/Under 0.

Frederik Andersen earned a win in his first home start since opening night, and Seth Jarvis had four points for Carolina in the Hurricanes’ home win over Columbus.

The National Weather Service issued a weather alert at 10:45 a.m. on Tuesday for fire danger until 5 p.m. The alert is for Person, Granville, Vance, Forsyth, Guilford, Alamance, Orange, Durham, Davidson and Randolph counties.

The Carolina Hurricanes had a big shakeup to their roster last night, adding superstar winger Mikko Rantanen and forward Taylor Hall in exchange for Martin Necas and Jack Drury. The two forward made their way to New York today and are in the lineup for the Canes' 7:30 game against the New York Islanders.

For a first impression, you could do a whole lot worse than Tony DeAngelo did in his Islanders’ debut on Saturday night.

The Carolina Hurricanes pulled off a blockbuster trade for Mikko Rantanen. The next thing on the agenda is to sign him to an extension to prevent the team from losing the forward to free agency.

Rantanen can become an unrestricted free agent July 1. He was available because the Avalanche couldn’t sign him to a long-term contract. Tulsky said the Hurricanes wanted to acquire Rantanen as long as possible before the NHL Trade Deadline on March 7 and have had only preliminary discussions with his camp.
