The Carolina Hurricanes started out slowly and could never get over the hump as they lost to the New York Rangers, 1-0 on Tuesday night at the PNC.
The visiting team jumped all over the homies as they outshot Carolina 12-5 in the opening period while scoring the game’s only goal off a deflection from Brady Skjei’s skate with just eight clicks left.
Goalie, Pyotr Kochetkov made several very good saves to keep his team in it, especially when he stopped a 2 on 0 break by the Rangers.
The Canes made a game of it for the next two periods but always looked a bit off on the offensive side of the ice.
