For the second out of three games on this road trip, the Carolina Hurricanes had a period where they completely collapsed. This time, it was a wild third period that saw the Utah Hockey Club score three goals in 2:19, and the Canes failing to convert on a 8:30 stretch of penalties when Michael Carcone committed one of the dirtier acts you’ll see in the modern NHL.
It’s possible the ping-ponging the Canes have been doing from east to west coast over the past month plus two of three games in high altitude caught up to them in Salt Lake City.
