Considering the dumpster fire that showed up for the Carolina Hurricanes against the Penguins the other night, having a back-to-back scenario was more of a blessing for the Canes in that they got an instant shot at a bounce-back effort.
Sadly, last night’s game against the Blue Jackets featured plenty of effort, but just not quite enough execution. Still, Carolina showed the kind of rallying potential not seen in the past two games. They didn’t get the two points, but they at least opened a parachute after the two-game free fall they entered.
