Canes Corner

Mikko Rantanen factored in on all four Colorado goals and the top 5 scorers totaled all of the Avalanche points in the 4-1 win over the Hurricanes. Rantanen assisted on the first three Colorado goals before icing the game with a full-court sling into an empty net. Cale Makar scored twice and Nathan MacKinnon had a goal and an assist. Jordan Staal had Carolina's only goal and Antti Raanta made 24 s...

Andrei Svechnikov's second hat trick of the season -- again, versus the Oilers -- leads Carolina to a dominating, 7-2 win over Edmonton. Andrei now has 6 of his 11 goals this season against the Oilers. Carolina put 11 different players on the scoresheet, including 6 with multiple points. Pyotr Kochetkov was dynamite in net, making 20 saves. The 23-year old rookie also provided the highlight of the...

The Hurricanes suffered their first shutout defeat of the season tonight, 3-0, at the hands of the Florida Panthers. The Canes finally got great goaltending -- this time from Antti Raanta -- but couldn't support it with any offense. Carolina has now gone 111:49 without a goal dating back to the first period against Toronto.

Does Carolina have a goaltending problem? Freddie Andersen lets in a late 3rd period bad goal as the Canes lose, 3-1, at home to the Maple Leafs. The Canes had plenty of chances to make that a moot point early in the game, but they were unable to get the puck behind Toronto's Erik Kallgren after taking a 1-0 lead in the opening period. Stefan Noesen scored the only Hurricanes goal, on a first peri...

Sebastian Aho notched his 5th career hat trick and Martin Necas added to his team-leading point total as Carolina beat Buffalo, 5-3, at PNC Arena.

Andrei Svechnikov, Teuvo Teravainen and Seth Jarvis all has a pair of assists and Jesperi Kotkaniemi scored his first goal of the season in the win. Antti...

The Hurricanes overcame the Lightning -- and their own penalty issues -- in a 4-3 shootout win in Tampa. Sebastian Aho and Teuvo Teravainen scored in the shootout.

Stefan Noesen and Andrei Svechnikov each scored, Martin Necas continued his torrid start with a pair of assists, and Freddie Andersen stopped Alex Ovechkin and Dylan Strome in the shootout to seal the wi...

It was not Carolina's finest performance. But, sometimes you get away with it because you have players talented enough to erase all the mistakes. Saturday night in Philadelphia Martin Necas was the "eraser" to the Hurricanes' pencil. His 3rd period goal gave them a chance. Then his overtime patience and supreme skating ability created Brent Burns' game-winner and gave the Canes 2 points they proba...

Carolina's return to PNC Arena turned out to be a horror show of mistakes even as we're a few nights short of Halloween.

Carolina heads back out on the road Saturday against the Flyers in Philadelphia

The Hurricanes finished off a 5-game, 11-day road swing through the Pacific Division with a 3-2 win in Vancouver.

The Carolina Hurricanes jumped out to a 2-0 lead in Calgary thanks to goals from Sebastian Aho and Calvin de Haan. But, that's where the fun ended. The Flames rallied to beat Carolina in overtime, 3-2, thanks in part to a Hurricanes power (play) outage. The Canes had 6 minutes of power play time in the 3rd period and did nothing with it.

The Hurricanes were uncharacteristically sloppy and it cost them in Edmonton.

It all wasted Andrei Svechnikov's first regular season hat trick. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
