From a gut punch to a bloodied lip, 5 takeaways from the Canes’ 4-3 loss to the Caps

Here are five takeaways from the Carolina Hurricanes’ 4-3 loss Friday to the Washington Capitals.

u25aa Canes coach Bill Peters said all regulation losses feel the same — “No points,” he said — but this one was a gut punch for the Canes.

On a day when there was much for the franchise to celebrate, with new owner Tom Dundon being formally introduced at a press conference, the loss was a downer, pure and simple. Leading the Washington Capitals 3-2 with a little more than three minutes to play in regulation, the Canes allowed two goals, lost 4-3 and walked away from the game with nothing.
