The Carolina Hurricanes are gaining footing in a very closely-contested playoff race, one that could see any misstep force them on the outside looking in once again. Another Black Friday for the Canes, against a formidable Winnipeg Jets team, means these Canes must execute amidst the most unforgiving time of the year.
There is no question that the Carolina Hurricanes have proven their worth this season. This tough and physical group has shown their ability to put pucks in the net, while the most unlikely of goaltenders have proven to be this year’s answer for the Canes. But these are things to be celebrated a different day.
