Preseason 12/14-12/20
Summary:
Riding a serious high streak, the Carolina Hurricanes were licking their lips at teams just above them in the NHL standings. The opportunity to leap frog a few of those teams was present, but Carolina failed to take full advantage. A tough loss to Philly, a poor display against Florida, and a solid performance in Pittsburgh left the Hurricanes almost exactly where they started. Here’s how it went down.
For the third time this season, the Carolina Hurricanes lost in overtime to the Philadelphia Flyers. Shayne Gostisbehere converted in the extra period to win it 4-3.
