from Chip Alexander of the News & Observer,
The Canes, after the time off, play their next five games at PNC Arena — Colorado, Toronto, Pittsburgh, Ottawa and Calgary — and should be in desperation mode. Their schedule split the rest of the way is favorable: 17 games at home and 12 on the road, all played in 52 days.
Of the 58 available points left for Carolina, the Canes likely need at least 40 to be in the playoff conversation, meaning something like a 19-8-2 finish. As Peters said, that’s daunting.
The Canes will next practice Thursday at 4 p.m. and face the Avalanche on Friday at 7:30 p.m.
“You only get one practice and then you play a team that’s in the rhythm of playing, so you’ve got your work cut out for you,” Peters said. “You’ve got to dig in and find a way.”
