The Carolina Hurricanes’ five game winning streak came to an end on Friday night as they lost to the Washington Capitals, 7-6 in a shootout at the Capital One Arena.
Coach Rod Brind’Amour called it a “weird” game and that is probably the best description of it.
The Canes spent much of the game killing penalties which ruined any attempt at creating some consistent flow.
They had two goals reversed, one off of an offsides play by Svechnikov and the other because of “goaltender interference”.
The usually outstanding penalty kill was certainly lacking as they allowed three powerplay goals against.
