Welp.
The Carolina Hurricanes severely outplay the Pittsburgh Penguins in a meaningful Metropolitan Division showdown on Wednesday night, but they didn’t get the result that they wanted.
Carolina fell to Pittsburgh at the PPG Paints Arena by a 3-2 regulation time score and got leapfrogged by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Eastern Conference standings as the Bolts defeated Canadiens in overtime.
Despite the loss, the Hurricanes played a near-perfect game on the road against the defending Stanley Cup champions. Let’s talk about last night.
The trio of Sebastian Aho, Teuvo Teravainen, and Lee Stempniak has turned into a lethal scoring line for the Hurricanes as of late, and they were dominant against the Pens on Wednesday.
