In a game where the only Hurricane to turn up to this one was Carolina’s netminder, this was a poor performance from the Carolina Hurricanes in relation to the standards they have set for themselves over the course of the season. In a game that Carolina would have been blown out of if the goaltending wasn’t up to scratch, the Hurricanes really struggled to get their feet under them in this one.
This was a particularly poor game from the Hurricanes, but Antti Raanta stood on his head. If there was ever any question about the capabilities of the Canes backup netminder, those went up in flames tonight.
