The Carolina Hurricanes once again went on the road and lost a playoff game, falling 5-2 to the New York Rangers Saturday night in Madison Square Garden as the Rangers forced game seven.
The Canes are now 0-6 on the road in these playoffs and will be playing in game seven for the second series in a row, as Saturday night’s showing on the road left much to be desired.
Antti Raanta struggled mightily and was pulled for Pyotr Kochetkov. The Canes couldn’t score on the power play and let the Rangers tally twice on the man advantage, as second-period goals from Brady Skjei and Vincent Trocheck did little more than give the Hurricanes some false hope in the middle frame.
