You would think that drawing a backup goalie with a .882 save percentage instead of the Vezina Trophy favorite with a .938 save percentage would be the thing that could get the Carolina Hurricanes out of a very frustrating offensive stretch.
Well, that’s not exactly how it played out in Raleigh on Sunday night.
New York Rangers backup goalie Alexandar Georgiev put together his best outing of the season, and the Hurricanes continued to be snakebit en route to a 2-0 shutout decision in favor of the road team.
The Hurricanes put on a shooting clinic throughout the first 20 minutes of Sunday’s game.
