Even though the Carolina Hurricanes were playing their second game in as many nights and the Chicago Blackhawks were in Raleigh awaiting the Canes’ return from Columbus, you’d have been hard pressed to decide which team was which early in Saturday night’s game at PNC Arena. Unfortunately for the Hurricanes, by the end of the night the distinction was obvious.
Despite a two-goal game by Brock McGinn, the Hurricanes ran out of gas late in the game, losing a two-goal lead before falling 4-3 to the Blackhawks on Brandon Saad’s goal 1:44 into overtime.
