The Columbus Blue Jackets are coming off a game in which they produced a high shot total. That's much like how the Carolina Hurricanes operate.

Both teams will be looking for their high-volume opportunities to translate into more production when they meet Tuesday night in Raleigh, N.C.

Despite launching 39 shots Sunday at Washington, Columbus fell 2-0. That was in contrast to the previous game when Columbus lost 7-6 in overtime at Florida.

"I thought we had plenty of opportunities to score, obviously," Blue Jackets coach Dean Evason said. "... We had some quality, quality opportunities. But we certainly liked our compete."

The Blue Jackets have lost two straight and six of their last eight (2-2-4).

The Hurricanes are finishing a seven-game homestand, hoping to improve on a 3-3-0 mark.
