We’ve entered the post-New Year’s portion of the NHL a schedule, a time that was immensely productive for the Carolina Hurricanes last season. From January 1st, 2019 through the end of the season, the Hurricanes posted a record of 30-12-2. Grabbing 62 out of a possible 88 points made this difference in getting the team back into the postseason.
The start of 2020 hasn’t been nearly as impressive for the Hurricanes. Through 9 games, they carry a 4-5 record, scoring 19 goals and allowing an equal number. There have been plenty of highs and lows, from the season-opening 5 game winning streak to the unfortunate injury suffered by All-Star defenseman Dougie Hamilton.
