Last night’s loss saw the Carolina Hurricanes drop both games of a home-and-home series with Metro division rival, the Washington Capitals. It was the biggest game of the season to date, and the Hurricanes could just not squeak this one out. The play was better than Tuesday night, nonetheless, there is still work to be done in the remaining 5 games of the regular season.
The Carolina Hurricanes are still holding on to that number one wildcard spot – but only by the skin of their teeth. They lead Montreal and Columbus by a single point.
