Hurricanes in playoff position. Here’s what they need to do to stay there

News & Observer | January 3, 2018

This is how screwy the Carolina Hurricanes’ schedule has been, and especially in the Metropolitan Division:

— The Canes already have completed a four-game season series against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

— The Canes faced the Washington Capitals, the Metro Division leaders, for the first time Tuesday, losing 5-4 in overtime.

— The Canes have yet to play a game against two other Metro teams, the Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils.

Never miss a local story.

And that’s 39 games into the season, two short of the halfway point.
