A historic run ended with a thud for the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.
The New York Rangers handed the Hurricanes a 5-3 loss, marking the end of Carolina’s franchise-best 11-game win streak. The run was unprecedented for this group, putting plenty of teams on notice in the process.
Once lagging far behind the division-leading New Jersey Devils, the Hurricanes now have five points separating them from a Devils club that has since come back down to Earth. League-wide, only the Boston Bruins have outpaced the Hurricanes to this point in the season.
