The Carolina Hurricanes’ historic point and win streaks came to an end Tuesday night in Madison Square Garden, as Carolina dropped a tightly contested game 5-3 to the Rangers.
The loss was the first for the Hurricanes since Dec. 6, and it was their first loss in regulation since Nov. 23.
The Canes held leads of 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 in the game, but a third-period burst from the Rangers led to Carolina’s point streak ending at 17 games. Brent Burns, Martin Necas and Jalen Chatfield did the scoring for the Canes, while Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 26 of 30 shots faced.
