The Carolina Hurricanes travel to Columbus tonight for the third game of a four-game miniseries against the Blue Jackets. The Canes have managed to squeak a point out of the Jackets for the past two games, and look to take the first 2 of the remaining 4 points on the table tonight.
The Canes aren’t quite in panic mode yet; forcing overtime against a very competitive Columbus squad two games in a row and walking away with a single point each time instead of both points is definitely frustrating, but the Canes can afford to leave a few on the table so long as this doesn’t become a trend.
