Carolina Hurricanes and Tampa Bay Lightning head-to-head record
The Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 in their most recent meeting on January 8, 2025, and prevailed in three of their previous five meetings. They also won 8-2 in their final meeting of 2023 and a resounding 4-1 earlier in the season.
But Carolina has proven resilient, winning two close games 2-1 in their last five meetings. This game could be another hotly contested fight because of Carolina's impressive home record and Tampa Bay's ability to exploit the power play.
The Hurricanes have a good chance of defending the home ice if they can continue to compete defensively and restrict Tampa Bay's scoring opportunities. But with Brandon Hagel performing well and Nikita Kucherov spearheading the Lightning's attack, Tampa Bay might be hard to contain once more.
