The Hurricanes enter with a strong 2-0-0 start and high scoring output, averaging 5 goals per game, while the Sharks have started 0-0-2 and are struggling offensively.

They have a reliable defense killing 80% of opponent power plays. Frederik Andersen posts a .908 save percentage. The San Jose Sharks are 0-0-2, with weaker save percentage at .867 and offensive challenges closing games.

No significant injury data is reported for either team immediately before this game, suggesting both lineups should be close to full strength.
