The Carolina Hurricanes got blanked by Spencer Knight and the Florida Panthers Wednesday night in Sunrise, as Florida won 3-0 in a game where the Canes just couldn’t find a way to beat the young netminder.
Carolina didn’t play near well enough in front of a stellar Antti Raanta, as the Canes dropped their second straight game to move to 8-4-1 on the season.

Slow start sets the tone
The Canes started out the game pretty poorly, as Florida controlled things early and took a 1-0 lead into the first intermission thanks to a tally from Nick Cousins.
