KEY GAME INFORMATION
CAROLINA: LAST SEASON: 36-35-11, 83 points. Missed the playoffs by finishing 13th in the Eastern Conference.
COACH: Bill Peters, 1st season with Hurricanes; 1st overall in NHL.
ADDED: C Brad Malone, D Tim Gleason.
LOST: C Manny Malhotra, G Justin Peters, C Brett Sutter.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Eric Staal. The captain is coming off the most disappointing season of his career, with his 21 goals his fewest in an 82-game season since he was a rookie a decade ago. With a salary of $9.25 million, he's one of the highest-paid players in the game but he managed just one power-play goal last season. He had sports hernia surgery during the offseason, and a fresh start with the detail-driven Peters could be just what Staal needs.
OUTLOOK: No team in the current alignment of the Eastern Conference has a longer playoff drought than the Hurricanes, who haven't made the postseason since 2009. How quickly Peters' message of focus and personal accountability gets through to a largely unchanged roster will determine whether that streak finally ends this season.
NY RANGERS: LAST SEASON: 45-31-6, 96 points. Finished 2nd in Metropolitan Division, 5th in Eastern Conference. Lost to Los Angeles Kings in Stanley Cup finals.
COACH: Alain Vigneault, 2nd season with Rangers (45-31-6); 13th overall in NHL (467-319-102).
ADDED: D Dan Boyle, D Mike Kostka, D Matt Hunwick, C Chris Mueller, LW Tanner Glass, G Cedrick Desjardins, C Matthew Lombardi, RW Lee Stempniak, LW Ryan Malone.
LOST: C Brad Richards, RW Derek Dorsett, C Brian Boyle, D Anton Stralman, LW Benoit Pouliot, D Justin Falk, RW Arron Asham, LW Daniel Carcillo, D Raphael Diaz, C Darroll Powe.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Rick Nash. The top forward will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing postseason in which the 2002 No. 1 draft notched only three goals and 10 points in 25 games and heard boos from the crowd. The 30-year-old left wing has come to training camp looking thinner and fitter as he heads into his third season with the Rangers. Nash has four seasons left for big money on his current contract, so there is plenty of time for him to win over the Madison Square Garden faithful.
OUTLOOK: The Rangers will go as far as goalie Henrik Lundqvist, ''The King,'' will take them. The team has undergone major changes since the run to the finals, but with the strong core of returning veterans such as Nash, Martin St. Louis, and defensemen Dan Girardi and Ryan McDonagh, fortified by newcomers Dan Boyle, Lee Stempniak and Ryan Malone, New York could again be a tough out in the playoffs. A new captain is expected to be announced at the start of the season to replace the trio of alternate captains that took leadership roles after former captain Ryan Callahan was traded to Tampa Bay late last season for St. Louis.

*Hurricanes-Rangers Preview* ============================

By JEFF BARTL STATS Senior Writer

Carolina (9-19-3) at New York (15-10-4), 7:00 p.m. EDT

The New York Rangers are on their best roll of the season, and their return to Madison Square Garden after a perfect road trip features a familiar opponent they've dominated there in recent years.

New York seeks a sixth straight victory as it completes a home-and-home set with the last-place Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday night.

The Rangers (16-10-4) defeated Pittsburgh on Dec. 8 at home before finishing a four-game road trip with Saturday's 3-2 shootout victory over the Hurricanes. J.T. Miller and Kevin Klein scored in regulation for New York, which is on the verge of winning six in a row for the first time since a seven-game run Oct. 31-Nov. 15, 2011.

Rick Nash had eight goals and six assists during an 11-game point streak that was snapped against Carolina, and the Rangers also had a goal disallowed before Klein's tying goal with 2:23 remaining in the third.

"Maybe earlier in the year, you get a bounce like that and you get down on yourself," Klein said. "I thought the resilience our team showed, not to let up, we just turned to each other and said, `Just keep going."'

New York, which got Derick Brassard back after he missed two games with the mumps, has won 13 of the last 14 meetings with Carolina (9-19-4), including a 2-1 shootout win Oct. 16 at MSG. That marked the seventh straight home victory over the Hurricanes, who have been outscored 22-8 during that stretch.

Carolina has plenty of work to do if it plans on ending that run. It scored just one goal in each contest during a six-game losing streak before Thursday's 4-1 win over Toronto.

Chris Terry and Jeff Skinner scored against the Rangers, but each missed their attempts in the shootout.

"(The Rangers) probably don't want to change much, if anything (for Sunday)," coach Bill Peters said. "We have to come up to the speed of the game. We've got to play faster. We didn't play fast, think fast or move the puck."

Skinner's goal was his second in three games, and Cam Ward made 32 saves as the Hurricanes were outshot 34-20.

"(Sunday will) probably another tight game," Skinner said. "They're a fast team. For us, we want to focus on the start and get out to a better start than we did (Saturday)."

Henrik Lundqvist has won each game during the Rangers' winning streak while posting a 1.56 goals-against average, but it's unclear if he'll play both in the back-to-back set.

"I felt like we deserved the two points," Lundqvist said after making 18 saves. "The most important thing is, we never gave up here. We kept working hard and I think we deserved this one."

Cam Talbot, who signed a one-year, $1.45 million contract extension Saturday, could get the start for this contest. He posted shutouts in his two previous outings before falling 3-2 to Detroit in his last start Dec. 6.

Talbot has never faced the Hurricanes, who could counter with Anton Khudobin in net to give Ward a rest. Khudobin is 0-7-2 with a 3.11 GAA in nine starts this season and lost 5-1 at Philadelphia in his last outing Dec. 13.

Possibly Khudobin's best performance came against the Rangers in October, though, as he made 33 saves.
