The Carolina Hurricanes have 16 games left to play this season, and sit third in the Metropolitan Division. Of those 16 games, 9 are at PNC Arena and 7 are on the road; the Canes will welcome Winnipeg, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, Minnesota, Montreal, Washington, Philadelphia and New Jersey to Raleigh, and visit Nashville, Colorado, Columbus, Washington, Pittsburgh, Toronto and Philadelphia.
Their playoff hopes continue to rest in their own hands.
The Metro Division is so, so tight. The New York Islanders currently sit in top spot via tie-breaker, ahead of the Washington Capitals.
