At some point, the Carolina Hurricanes need to learn how to get the puck out of their own end and close out games.
Whether it’s getting the clear when the puck’s on your stick or actually getting the puck into the empty net, the plays have to be made.
The Hurricanes currently rank 30th in the league in empty net goals with just three and have given up just as many goals in 5v6 scenarios.
Essentially their late game plan seems to be just try and turtle it out, but that’s what cost them the win tonight as Brock Boeser tied the game up with 17 seconds left in the third period.
