Canes, Raanta blank Senators for fifth-straight win
The Carolina Hurricanes just kept rolling as they shutout the Ottawa Senators 4-0 Friday night for their fifth-straight win.
The two biggest factors for the Hurricanes in the win was goaltending and the penalty kill.
In terms of goaltending, Raanta has been incredibly consistent for the Hurricanes with a 15-2-3 overall record. In fact, the Finnish netminder hasn’t even lost a game in regulation since November 12 against the Colorado Avalanche.
“In my opinion, he was the best player on the ice,” Brind’Amour said.
In that stretch, he’s 12-0-2 and currently holds the longest point streak by a goaltender in franchise history.
