After the ups and downs (mainly downs) for much of the first half of the season, the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Senators, 5-4, on the road to enter the second half on a four-game winning streak.
I know, I know — “they always get our hopes up then crush them,” “time is a flat circle,” etc., etc. But don’t pretend like the brand of hockey that Carolina has played the last two weeks hasn’t been exciting. You want goals? You got ‘em: 17 of them in four games.
Do keep in mind that three of those wins during this streak have come against either the Flyers or the Senators.
