Postgame Notes

This usually is where I’d put in my CardiacCane three stars of the game. However, I don’t feel there was anyone worthy other than Petr Mrazek, who kept any hope of a comeback alive. As such, there won’t be any three stars listing in this article.

  • Next Home Game: 17 January 2020
    • Versus Anaheim Ducks
    • Second of two 2019-2020 regular-season meetings
    • 1-0-0 vs. Ducks this season
    • 12-13-2-6 record in 33 total meetings
  • Next Away Game: 16 January 2020
    • Versus Columbus Blue Jackets
    • Third of four 2019-2020 regular-season meetings
    • 0-1-1 vs. Blue Jackets this season
    • 20-15-5 record in 40 total meetings
    • Question for CC Readers: With the Hurricanes continuing to slide against Metropolitan Division opponents, do you think they will make a playoff berth in 2020?
