It’s no secret that the Hurricanes have struggled to hold leads this season. After all, the team opened the year by blowing three-goal leads in two consecutive games in Winnipeg and Vancouver.
But what has driven the team’s inability to grab two points from the games in which they’ve been ahead of their opponents? Some have said it has something to do with the fact that the team is so young. Others have contended that the defense has been a complete mess in the early going. Even more have suggested that shoddy goaltending has a lot to do with it.
