- Date: 2025-11-14
- Time: 12:10 AM UTC
- Location: Lenovo Center, Raleigh, North Carolina
Game Overview
The Carolina Hurricanes host the Vancouver Canucks in a regular season NHL matchup at Lenovo Center. The Hurricanes enter the game with a strong home record and are favored, while the Canucks are struggling with a below-.500 record and are on the road. The game is scheduled for Friday, November 14, 2025, at 7:00 PM ET and will be broadcast on ESPN+.
Key Factors to Consider
- Carolina Hurricanes are 11-5, showing strong offensive and defensive balance, particularly at home. Vancouver Canucks are 8-9-1, with inconsistent results and a recent losing streak. Carolina has been dominant in home games, while Vancouver has struggled on the road.
- Recent head-to-head matchups have been competitive, but Carolina has had the upper hand in the last few meetings, especially at home. Carolina's last two wins against Vancouver were by 2+ goals.
- No major injuries reported for Carolina. Vancouver is missing key forward J.T. Miller (upper-body injury), which weakens their top line and power play.
- Carolina is playing at home with strong crowd support. The game is part of a back-to-back for Vancouver, who played in Tampa the previous night, which may impact fatigue and performance.
- Carolina is fighting for a top seed in the Metropolitan Division. Vancouver is trying to climb out of the bottom half of the Pacific Division and needs points to stay competitive.
