The Carolina Hurricanes continued their great Jekyll and Hyde routine of the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs Saturday, falling 5-2 to the Rangers in game 6 at Madison Square Garden, sending the series back to Raleigh for a game 7 Monday.
With the loss, the Canes are now 7-0 at home and 0-6 on the road in these playoffs.
Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but the Canes played fairly well but had a large number of self inflicted wounds in this one. Antti Raanta allowed two goals he should have stopped en route to the Rangers building a 3-0 lead, leading Rod Brind’Amour to make what’s been a rare move on his part and go to Pyotr Kochetkov (who also allowed a very leaky goal).
