5 THINGS - FLAMES @ HURRICANES
Calgary finishes out this six-game road trip with a matinee in Raleigh
The 'Canes have lost five straight - but four of those defeats have come in overtime.
The latest setback was against the red-hot Bruins in Boston Friday, where they fell 3-2 in extra time. Boston set a new NHL record by winning their 12th straight home game to start a season.
Stefan Noesen and Jesper Kotkaniemi staked Carolina out to a 2-0 lead after the first period but David Krejci scored once in the second and again in the third before David Pastrnak ended things 3:19 in OT.
"Right now, it's just we're in one of those where the bounces are certainly going the other way all the time so we're gonna have to just keep digging in," coach Rod Brind'Amour told media after.#
Hurricanes aim to snap 5-game skid as Flames visit
Even when potential areas of concern turn out favorably, the Carolina Hurricanes are in one of those stretches when they can't quite seem to notch the desired result.
They've had troubles producing on power plays and they have growing concerns about goaltending depth. There were encouraging developments on both those fronts this week.
The next step will be actually winning another game. Carolina, which has lost five consecutive games, meets the Calgary Flames on Saturday in Raleigh, N.C.
Hurricanes’ failure to score has become existential crisis as frustration runneth over
The frustration from failing to score, night after night, is clearly bleeding over into other areas, like Brent Burns’ inexplicable backhanded clearing attempt that led to the second goal, and Jordan Staal getting outfought in the high slot for the third. Those things don’t happen when the Hurricanes are rolling.
CP Secret Santa, Don't miss it!!
