Game Time: 4:00 PM, FS-W
While no one was looking — it’s excusable, all eyes over here are on the Western Conference standings, and the constant flip-flop game that the Kings are playing — the Carolina Hurricanes vaulted themselves into a playoff position. It comes after two straight road wins, and five wins in their last ten games. Granted, the rest of the East isn’t too far behind; the Blue Jackets and the Islanders are only one point behind, the Rangers are two points back, and all four of those teams play today.
