The Hurricanes had started their four-game winning streak with a 8-2 win over the Ottawa Senators. They went on to accomplish a feat this franchise usually doesn’t; a perfect road trip. Victories over the Buffalo Sabres, Minnesota Wild, and the Chicago Blackhawks keeps the Hurricanes competitive.
Despite winning four in a row, the Hurricanes find themselves fourth in the Metropolitan Division again. The Pittsburgh Penguins are currently riding a four-game point streak, the New York Islanders are riding a five-game winning streak, and with their win two nights ago, the Philadelphia Flyers only trail the Hurricanes by a point.
