The Carolina Hurricanes dropped another disappointing game Tuesday night to bring their record down to 4-3-3 in their last 10 games. This is also happening at the worst time for the Canes as the Tampa Bay Lightning are now the first wild card team in the East, which would mean the Canes are set for a first-round matchup with the two-time defending champs. It’s important to note that the Canes aren’t playing terribly, they just aren’t putting everything together and they haven’t gotten every bounce.
While it's not time for a full meltdown, it is concerning that their worst play of the year is coming at the most important time of the year and when you want to see the team peaking.
