Entering the contest fresh off a 2-0 shutout victory over the Detroit Red Wings Sunday night, the Carolina Hurricanes were looking to extend their win streak to three games when they visited Madison Square Garden last night. Suffering a 3-2 defeat by the hands of the New York Rangers, what exactly went wrong?
Dropping their last six divisional games, Carolina was looking to start on time and play “their game” if they wanted to solve Henrik Lundqvist, who has historically been dynamite against the Hurricanes in his career. With an impressive 31-12-1 record against the Canes, he has only given up two or more goals 13 times in his career.
