Learn how the Carolina Hurricanes are addressing goaltending concerns and seeking depth ahead of the NHL trade deadline.

The Kraken took the game to Carolina with two second period goals that were enough because of incredible defense and goaltending. The final sequence is what sums up this Kraken team. Carolina had a 6-on-4 chance with a power play and an empty net needing just one of their furious shot attempts to get past Joey Daccord to force overtime.

BOTTOM LINE: The Vancouver Canucks look to end a six-game losing streak when they take on the Carolina Hurricanes. Vancouver has an 18-35-7 record overall and a 6-18-5 record on its home ice. The Canucks have gone 6-11-2 in games they have more penalties than their opponent.

The Hurricanes hit the road for a four-game Pacific Division road trip this week. The Canes' roster could look quite different when they return.

With the Vancouver Canucks being in the cellar (dead last) of the Pacific Division, all signs point to the organization being sellers at the NHL trade deadline, which is exactly one week away on March 6.

The pros: Trocheck is familiar to the Hurricanes. The 32-year-old center played two-plus seasons in Carolina and proved to be a good fit before signing with New York. He’s an all-situations player who would boost the Hurricanes’ penalty kill and the team’s middle-of-the-road performance at the faceoff dot.

Surging second line dominates opponents and could force Hurricanes management to rethink deadline acquisition strategies. Their elite play sparks a crucial question for Carolina's championship hopes.

Vincent Trochcek is emerging as one of the top trade candidates in the National Hockey League. With the trade deadline just three days away, some teams, like the Carolina Hurricanes, are emerging as top suitors.
