The Jets would settle for a repeat after beginning their season-high five-game road trip with setbacks at Philadelphia and Boston in which they allowed a total of nine goals while scoring only three. Carolina is hoping for a better performance than the one it put forth in its season-opening overtime loss in Winnipeg, where the host rallied from a three-goal deficit in the third period and emerged with a 5-4 overtime victory.

Victor Rask and Jeff Skinner share the team scoring lead with 14 points apiece, with the former recording three goals and an assist over the first four games of the homestand. Carolina began its string of contests at PNC Arena by dropping a 4-2 decision to Anaheim for its third straight overall defeat (0-2-1) but rebounded with triumphs over Washington, San Jose and league-leading Montreal, with the last two being determined by one goal. The Carolina Hurricanes look to cap their five-game homestand with a fourth consecutive victory when they host the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday.
