RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Carolina Hurricanes set an NHL record on Thursday night in their 3-1 Game 5 victory over the New York Rangers, as the home team won for the 12th straight time in their games since the start of the postseason.
But Game 6 is Saturday night back in New York City. To close out the Rangers, the Hurricanes will have to do something they've already failed to do five times in the Stanley Cup playoffs: Win on the road.
"It's kind of beating a dead horse about not winning on the road," said center Vincent Trocheck, who scored a short-handed goal Thursday.
