The Carolina Hurricanes host the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday night. The pregame narrative: Two of the NHL’s powerhouses square off, both looking to get back in the win column. I’m backing Pavel Dorofeyev to find the score sheet while fading Jack Roslovic.

BOTTOM LINE: The Buffalo Sabres face the Carolina Hurricanes in Eastern Conference play. Buffalo has gone 8-11-3 in home games and 16-22-5 overall. The Sabres are third in league play with 181 total penalties (averaging 4.2 per game).
