(My Sportsbook) - A pair of clubs trying to end losing streaks will meet tonight in Raleigh, as the Carolina Hurricanes host the Toronto Maple Leafs at RBC Center.

The Maple Leafs come into tonight's test on a four-game slide, while Carolina has dropped its last three contests.

The Hurricanes, who are 2-0 against the Leafs this year, have won three straight and five of the last six encounters with Toronto. The Leafs have also been defeated in three straight and five of their last seven trips to Raleigh.

In addition to losing four in a row, Toronto has dropped five of six and eight of its last 10 contests.

The Leafs were in action Tuesday against visiting Nashville and the Predators earned the shutout win at Air Canada Centre. Steve Sullivan recorded his first point in nearly two years and Pekka Rinne stopped all 17 shots he faced to lift the Preds to the 2-0 decision.

Vesa Toskala allowed two goals on 23 shots for the Maple Leafs, who have scored just five goals during their four-game losing streak. Toronto enters tonight with a goalless streak of 79 minute, 19 seconds.

The Leafs are playing the first of two straight on the road tonight and will wrap the brief swing Friday in Atlanta. Toronto is 8-12-2 as the visiting club this year and has dropped four straight road tests.

All the losses during Carolina's current skid came on a three-game road trip. The Hurricanes have been outscored 10-2 over their last two games, as they lost both tests by a 5-1 score.

The most recent setback came Tuesday in Ottawa, as Dany Heatley and Antoine Vermette both recorded a goal and an assist in the 5-1 thrashing at Scotiabank Place.

Former Senator Joe Corvo had a power-play goal for the Hurricanes, while Cam Ward yielded all five goals on 40 shots in defeat.

Carolina, which is 12-9-1 as the host this season, is back in Raleigh for just one game before beginning a four-game road trip Saturday in Buffalo.
