The Carolina Hurricanes have now lost three games in a row after losing 3-2 to the Ottawa Senators.
In what Rod Brind’Amour described as a “trash game” — outside of the penalty kill, let’s make sure that’s stated — the Hurricanes were slow, disorganized and honestly painful to watch.
It wasn’t the same team that we’re accustomed to seeing and that’s been apparent for a few games now.
The Hurricanes biggest problem against Ottawa started with defensive breakdowns.
Too many times, the Senators were able to blow past the Canes’ skaters and, too often, an Ottawa player went unmarked.
