Snowy weather may have shuffled the Carolina Hurricanes'
schedule around this week, but it hasn't hurt their play on the ice.

The Philadelphia Flyers will open their 2013-14 schedule
on home ice when they welcome the Toronto Maple Leafs for Wednesday's clash at
Wells Fargo Center.

The floundering Carolina Hurricanes will try to stop a
five-game losing streak when they welcome the Montreal Canadiens for Tuesday's
battle at PNC Arena.

The surging Philadelphia Flyers will try to keep a
lengthy home winning streak alive on Saturday afternoon when they welcome the
Tampa Bay Lightning to Wells Fargo Center.

Kings for a battle at the Bell Centre.

A pair of teams near the bottom of the NHL standings
will meet Saturday afternoon in the City of Brotherly Love when the
Philadelphia Flyers welcome the Edmonton Oilers to the Wells Fargo Center.

The Buffalo Sabres will try to avoid losing consecutive
games for the first time in over two weeks when they visit the struggling
Carolina Hurricanes tonight at RBC Center.

The Buffalo Sabres needed very little offense to pick up a
win on Friday night and the Northeast Division leaders will be right back at
it when they host the Phoenix Coyotes tonight at First Niagara Center.

The rebuilding Edmonton Oilers will kick off a new season

Rexall Place.

The Carolina Hurricanes may be tied for the fewest points

three-game losing streak since October when they welcome the Boston Bruins for
tonight's battle at CONSOL Energy Center.
