The Canes had a weekend at home with back-to-back games, and the two outcomes were very different.
After a devastating 4-1 loss to Columbus on Saturday, Carolina came back on Sunday to win 2-1 against the Devils in what felt like, at a few points in the second period, it could turn into yet another devastating loss. And yet what became a win and a loss showed something that I think has been true for the Canes for much of the season: this team can easily dig a hole that it can’t climb out of.
In turn, which teams scores first matters a lot when one of those teams is the Hurricanes.
