The Carolina Hurricanes nearly stole the game Wednesday night against the Florida Panthers, but instead came away with only a single point as they couldn’t hold on to the lead late in the third and folded quickly in overtime

It was another disappointing finish for the Hurricanes who are now 1-2-2 in their last five games since returning to play.

The first period saw two high-end teams battling hard, with Carolina getting the edge thanks to a broken stick and odd-angle shot, but the final 40 minutes saw the Canes barely being able to skate with the Panthers.
