It’s the third straight game the Canes have lost in regulation, as they are topped 3-2 by the Ottawa Senators as their offense could not get the puck into the net against Ottawa. As they amassed 49 shots, they could only manage two goals as they ship three to suffer yet another loss. But this one will be infuriating as there’s not much more the team could have done.
If the Carolina Hurricanes want to be a Stanley Cup contender in this league, then they need to figure out a way to get pucks into the net. Their recent scoring record is awful and it’s not good enough for a team that started 9-0 and looked like the team that was going to stomp their way to the Stanley Cup when the season started.
