Canes drop final faceoff with Rangers
Photo by Jaylynn Nash/ The Carolina Hurricanes came up short yet again to the New York Rangers, losing 2-1 Thursday night at PNC Arena. Welp... it was the same story, just a different day for the Carolina Hurricanes as they outshot the New York Rangers by a solid margin, yet they couldn’t find the offense they needed, falling 2-1 Thursday night at PNC Arena. The Hurricanes struck first but then went dry through the remainder of the game and while Igor Shesterkin made same great saves, especially robbing Jesse Puljujarvi off a 2-on-1 feed, those were far and few...

Carolina Hurricanes vs. New York Rangers: Game Preview
Photo by Sarah Stier/ Fresh off a thrilling come-from-behind win over the Rangers, the Canes will faceoff with New York again Thursday night at home. Tuesday night, the Carolina Hurricanes went up to New York and won a wacky game that featured one goal in 50 minutes and four goals in 10.

Canes battle back to top Rangers in MSG
Photo by Sarah Stier/ It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. Right? For the first 49 and a half minutes Tuesday night, the Hurricanes-Rangers game in Madison Square Garden was an absolute slog. The Rangers held a 1-0 lead thanks to a late first-period tally from Tyler Motte. The Canes held an edge in shots and chances, though Carolina really hadn’t mustered a scoring chance that ever really looked like it threatened New York netminder Igor Shesterkin, who stopped 36 of 39 shots faced by the end of the night. But then the unlikeliest of Canes broke through,...

Canes at Rangers: Game Hub
Photo by Bruce Bennett/ The Canes look to keep the good vibes of Saturday’s shock win going at an arena where they’ve been few and far between.

The Hurricanes start an important home-and-home in Manhattan tonight, with the Devils right on their heels (albeit with the Hurricanes holding two games in hand) and the Rangers not far behind. These three teams will be the top three in the Metro at the end of the season, and two of them will play...

Another monumental clash between Metro division titans is upon us and tonight it will be the Carolina Hurricanes facing off against the New York Rangers at MSG, aka the cursed lands. The Canes have yet to beat the Rags this season, losing 5-3 in January and 6-2 in February, so will March prove to be a more fruitful month for the team that assuredly has some playoff grievances they’d like to air out? The new faces to New York’s lineup,...

The Carolina Hurricanes once again struggled against the Toronto Maple Leafs, as they lost their fourth matchup in a row, 5-2 at Scotiabank Arena Friday night.

Luck was not on the Carolina Hurricanes’ side Friday night as they lost to the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-2 at Scotiabank Arena. It just wasn’t the Hurricanes’ night as they failed to mount a strong enough effort, and the odd-man rushes they kept conceding kept winding up in the back of their net.
