"Henry the VIII I am" -- Second verse same as the first

For the Carolina Hurricanes we hope this time unlike the “Henry the VIII” song – were the second verse same as the first – since the first verse this season was a 4-0 shutout from the New Jersey Devils. Carolina, coming off a 3-2 win in Ottawa, the guys stayed in the Northeast instead of flying home. With a few days between games, let’s see if the rest will be a benefit to Carolina and let’s see if staying from Raleigh and the home cooking was a good idea (no jet lag from flying hither and yon).
The task for Carolina tonight is to stay off the power play. Not to be mean, but the Canes seem to do better when they are a man or even two down. Their last victory, the win in Ottawa Saturday night, the Senators had two different 5 on 3 power plays and yet could not cash in. When Carolina was in Atlanta last Wednesday, the Thrash went 1-10 in that game and the Hurricanes earned the “w”. Carolina’s last loss, the 4-0 shutout to Montreal on Thursday, the Canes actually gave up two 3 on 5 goals when Carolina had the man advantage.
Trevor Letowsky could be back on the ice for the Canes tonight in Jersey. The last time Letowsky saw the ice was the 5-1 win at Pittsburgh when he was knocked unconscious by Colby Armstrong. Letowsky was out before he hit the ice. Tim Gleason is still out nursing an upper body injury. He is still day to day from the last reports heard.
