Hurricanes trying to hold off Washington in the Southeast

Mar 29, 2008 - 1:42 PM Carolina (42-30-6) at Tampa Bay (30-38-9) 7:30 pm EDT

TAMPA, Florida (Ticker) - The Carolina Hurricanes attempt to increase their lead atop the Southeast Division standings when they visit the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday.

Carolina surpassed last season's 88-point total with its 7-1 home win over Atlanta on Friday and has 90 points, four better than the second-place Washington Capitals (39-31-8).

The Hurricanes, who missed the playoffs last year after claiming the franchise's first Stanley Cup in 2006, will likely be the third seed in the conference if they can hold off the Capitals.

The Lightning, last in the conference with 69 points, continue to be lead by Vincent Lecavalier, who has 40 goals and 90 points.

Lecavalier has six goals and 11 points in six games against Carolina this season.
