When you look at the Carolina Hurricanes’ 11-game winning streak, one thing was consistent: goaltending.
Four total shutouts, saves in sequence and just getting the job done.
When you look at this recent three-game losing streak, one thing is consistent: goaltending.
Carolina has now lost back to back games where it generated 67 and 42 shots.
The difference in these games has been the netminders. Because while the opponents have been making stellar saves to keep their teams in the game, the Hurricanes netminders look average at best.
In terms of last night, three goals allowed on 18 shots is just not good enough.
