The Carolina Hurricanes started the 2019-2020 with a run that the franchise hadn’t seen in their 20-plus year history. They were hitting on all cylinders offensively and defensively, with only their penchant for penalties being the glaring weakness of their game.
The blue line was excelling, the line combinations where proving to utilize great chemistry, and goaltending had played as well as any fan could have hoped. It was the first big road trip out west, however, that seemed to take the season a different direction. Despite Saturdays win over the Chicago Blackhawks, the Canes have faltered.
2-4 over their last six games is a far cry from the 5-0 start.
