During their season long four game skid, it became clear that the Carolina Hurricanes could benefit from having Justin Williams back in the locker room. After losing three straight divisional games to New Jersey, Philadelphia and New York the Hurricanes put forth a lack luster effort against the Senators last Saturday night.
In a game where they gave up two goals in four seconds, the entire roster looked flat out uninspired from the drop of the puck. Up and down the line up, the Hurricanes looked more like a team that was in the early stages of a rebuild, rather than one looking to contend for the Stanley Cup.
