Getting shutout is never fun. The Canes’ offense just couldn’t seem to get their act together for any extended length of time last night. When they did figure out how to make a play in the offensive zone, Tampa netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy stood tall to ensure nothing came of it.
Last night’s game was a giant goose egg, but in this truncated season, players and coaches have to learn to let games like that go, and focus on the next one.
The Tampa Bay Lightning are arguably one of the most difficult teams to play against in the league today, but the Canes have shown that they are more than capable of hanging with them and beating them at their own game.
The Carolina Hurricanes have quite a bit of work to do tonight to make sure this matchup is in no way, shape, or form comparable to the effort (or lack thereof) put forth last night.
