The Carolina Hurricanes’ 20th game of the season, and the last before Thanksgiving, was their worst.
The New York Rangers worked over the Canes for 60 minutes, making them look slow, indecisive and at times nearly inept in taking a 6-1 victory Wednesday at PNC Arena.
The Rangers whipped the puck around the ice and took advantage of their scoring chances, making it a relatively easy night for goalie Henrik Lundqvist. The Canes got a goal from Sebastian Aho — the Finnish forward’s fifth in the past five games — but the lasting memory from this game will be Canes goalie Scott Darling flubbing Mika Zibanejad’s 92-foot wedge shot, stabbing at the puck with his glove and having sit drop in the net.
