Welcome to the home stretch of the 2019-20 regular season for the Carolina Hurricanes.
Sort of...
With the NHL’s season on “pause” for the time being, we have a void left by no hockey being played in the most intense period of the regular season.
While we can’t experience the real-life playoff race, we can experience it in other ways - virtual ways.
Using NHL 20’s franchise mode, I have simulated the remainder of the 2019-20 regular season, starting on March 12 when the season was initially put on hold. I went through each and every remaining Hurricanes game, wrote down the results the game gave me, and have recapped those games like they were happening in real life.
