The Carolina Hurricanes are widely respected for their performance on the stats sheet, with the Canes frequently topping various advanced stats lists. This stems from the team having such an excellent group of defensemen; all six of the Canes’ main defensemen have a Corsi For % of more than 50%, and the Canes have allowed the least shots on net of any team in the entire NHL (1184, 28 less than the St Louis Blues having played a game more). This is a quality defensive corps that moves the puck well, and makes relatively few mistakes in their own zone.
