The Hurricanes will have their second game on the season on Friday and for the Hurricanes it means the start of the road trip. However, the Hurricanes are a team that should be able to come out firing and they did make some changes that they were missing last season towards the end of the season, which could help them out quite a bit.,
What could be a start for the Hurricanes is the fact that Curtis McElhinney is the goalie who is projected to start against his former team. McElhinney was picked up off waivers, but even then he did not have a lot of time to adjust to the Hurricanes defensive system or outlets.

The Blue Jackets are definitely going to be looking to have a good season from Sergei Bobrvosky and Artemi Panarin who are both coming into contract years. If it holds to be true with most of the profesional sports stars the Blue Jackets are going to be expecting to get big play from these players as the contract years are definitely going to be playing at the top of their play to get an extension.
Unlike the Hurricanes the offense of the Blue Jackets and defense as well has been able to play well enough to pick up a lot of the wins and avoid injuries. What else helps is this unit is pretty much the same as last season, except Seth Jones is out becaues of an injury.

The Blue Jackets are going to have a great game here as the offense will be clicking really well, even in the absence of Seth Jones. The defense for Bobrovsky will turn away most of the shots that are sent their way as the Blue Jackets are going to take advantage of McElhinney not being familiar with the Hurricanes way of playing defense. Final Score, Columbus Blue Jackets win 5-1.
