It wasn’t the two points they wanted, but the Carolina Hurricanes improved to 14-2-1 on the year after an overtime defeat in San Jose. This was a poor performance from the Carolina Hurricanes as the Sharks edged out the goalie duel in this one, but it does open up room for improvement. At 14-2, the Hurricanes were straddling the line as a historically great team. Now, they look human and have room to grow.
Now, this result will not destroy the Canes season. Moving forward, yes the extra point here would have been nice, but the one point from this game is better than none at the end of the day, and Carolina now has to go away and learn from their mistakes in this one before they go onto Seattle.
