It's a lone home game sandwiched in between a pair of two-game road trips. The Knights went 1-0-1 over their last two games at the Edmonton Oilers and at the Seattle Kraken.
VGK are a perfect 8-0 at the Fortress so far this season. Vegas' last home game was an overtime win in the team's first-ever regular season matchup with the Utah Hockey Club.
"Vegas Born" will be without captain Mark Stone on Monday night, who will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury. The Knights are also without forward Victor Olofsson and defenseman Nic Hague, both of whom are still on IR.
VGK head coach Bruce Cassidy said Monday morning that Olofsson "turned a corner" in his recovery from a lower-body injury but will not travel in the team's upcoming road trip.
The Hurricanes provide the Knights with one of the toughest tests in their young season. Monday night's game marks a return from original misfit William Carrier — this time as a Hurricane after leaving VGK as a free agent earlier this year. This is Carrier's first season playing for Carolina.
