As the red and blue parties duked it out on election night in America, the Redvolution was soundly defeated by the Blues on Tuesday as the Hurricanes fell, 4-1, in St. Louis.
The loss marked the fifth straight defeat for Carolina as the team dropped to 6-7-2 on the season.
The one thing the Hurricanes couldn’t do against the Blues, based on recent results: get into an early hole. But that’s exactly what they did, falling into a 3-1 hole in the first period.
The first goal came near the eight-minute mark after Jaccob Slavin was able to weave his way out of trouble behind the net to move the puck up-ice.
