After ending 2025 with a flat performance, the Canes will try to rebound in their first outing of 2026 by welcoming the Habs to town.
It's a new year, and the Carolina Hurricanes are only looking forward on New Year's Day. The Canes ended 2025 with one of their most disappointing performances of the season, falling into an early hole that snowballed out of control for 40 minutes. While they weren't shut out by the Pittsburgh Penguins, the group offered little resistance in a 5-1 loss.
