The Carolina Hurricanes had a tough weekend - a back-to-back sequence against two legitimate Western Conference Stanley Cup contenders in the Winnipeg Jets and the Nashville Predators.
From one night to the next, the Canes looked like two entirely different teams, but they certainly left their best for last and avoided what could have been a season-derailing weekend.
There’s not much to say about Friday’s disaster against the Winnipeg Jets. From the early moments of the game until the final buzzer, the Hurricanes were dramatically outplayed, mailing in an effort reminiscent of last season.
