The Carolina Hurricanes couldn’t get out of their own way on Saturday against the Columbus Blue Jackets, and they paid for their mistakes with a tough 4-3 shootout loss on the road.
For the second game in a row, the story should be about Max Pacioretty, who netted his first two goals as a member of the Hurricanes, but instead, it’s about how the team couldn’t manage to win a game that they likely should have won. Directly on the heels of a franchise-record winning streak, their losing streak is now at three games.
