With a 0-2-1 record on their east coast swing, the Hurricanes are now back below .500 with a 9-10-5 record. They sit in seventh in the Metropolitan only one point above everybody’s favorite tire fire the New York Islanders.
Despite the Canes awful record on this road trip, there is no denying that they outplayed both New York and Boston. Well at least until the third period started. The Hurricanes entered each third period either with the lead or tied yet was unable to come away with a win in every one. It was an
