Carolina, which has lost six of its past eight games.Article continues below
...Hurricanes winger Sebastian Aho had his assist streak broken Friday, leaving
him one shy of the NHL record after he was held without a point for the first
time this season. He was trying to become the first player in NHL history with a
13-game assist streak to open a season. Wayne Gretzky of the Edmonton Oilers in
1982-83, and Ken Linseman of the Boston Bruins in 1985-86 each had 12. Aho has
four goals and 13 assists for the season.¡°We¡¯ve got to be ready to start that
game. We can¡¯t give ourselves that hole to dig out of,¡± Hurricanes forward
Jordan Martinook said on the team¡¯s website. ¡°On the other side of it, it just
shows the attitude in this room that we won¡¯t quit. We fight until the very last
second. One point is huge, but we wanted that second one.¡±Martinook

Pyatt Jersey , Andrei Svechnikov and Jordan Staal tallied goals for
the Hurricanes, but Michael Grabner won it for the Coyotes in 3-on-3
overtime.¡°The boys dug in and found a way to get a point, to battle back and
show some character in the way we want to play,¡± Staal said.The three straight
losses all have been by one-goal margins, but the recent results have not been
good for Carolina, which won four of its first five games to start the season
but is now 6-5-2.Vegas (5-7-1) got to the Stanley Cup Finals as an expansion
team last season, but the Golden Knights find themselves in seventh place in the
Pacific Division heading into Saturday¡¯s action.They have lost two straight
games, including Thursday¡¯s 5-3 loss to St. Louis

and have dropped four of their last five. The only win in that span was an
overtime victory over Ottawa last Sunday.Vegas is 29th in the league in scoring,
having scored 30 times in 13 games. ¡°I don¡¯t think this is about anybody except
us. It¡¯s not about the other teams right now it¡¯s about our team,¡± said Vegas
center Erik Haula on the team¡¯s website. ¡°Consistently, we keep making the same
kind of mistakes and we aren¡¯t playing a full game. That¡¯s the problem, it
doesn¡¯t matter who we¡¯re playing. We¡¯re at the bottom of the barrel right now.
Nobody is in a good mood. But it¡¯s not going to come easy. We have to really dig
in.¡±Max Pacioretty and Paul Stastny have been out with injuries and Nate Schmidt
has been unavailable due to a suspension. Pacioretty (upper body) has missed the
past three games and remains day-to-day with no timetable for his return.
Stastny (lower body) won¡¯t be back for at least another month.¡°We have times in
the game when we play the right way and other times when we don¡¯t, and it ends
up costing us big time,¡± Pierre-Edouard Bellemare.said. ¡°We¡¯re going to have to
figure out how to play a full 60 minutes because right now, 40 is nowhere near
close enough.¡±Alex Tuch had a goal and an assist in the loss to the
Blues
