Latest news and updates about the Hurricanes
A former Edmonton Oiler was placed on waivers Wednesday. According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the Carolina Hurricanes have placed Noah Philp on waivers, who they had claimed off waivers from the Oilers in late December. The big question is, should the Oilers put a claim on him? All clear Philp (CAR) on waivers https://t.co/u9juqF1ksH —…
The Carolina Hurricanes , along with the Anaheim Ducks , are the two teams in unique positions to add more than one major piece at the deadline, whether that be a rental or not, as they have tons of cap space and are in great positions in the standings. The Hurricanes more so than the Ducks as Carolina has 69 points, 12 more than the Philadelphia Flyers, the closest team that could kick them out of a playoff spot. The Hurricanes have a strong roster that has the team third in goals and seventh...
The Carolina Hurricanes have had on-and-off goaltending issues, mainly to do with injuries, for many years, and I believe it is part of the reason why they haven't been able to get over the hump. In general, the Hurricanes are good at limiting shots against, so the goalie's numbers never look as good as they should. The Hurricanes have no plans on not being the top team that they are and going deep on playoff runs year after year. To do that, they have to shore up goaltending. They appear to h...
The Carolina Hurricanes and Buffalo Sabres pulled of a very minor one-for-one trade over the weekend as the two teams announced the Sabres have acquired defenceman Gavin Bayreuther from the Hurricanes in exchange for forward prospect Viktor Neuchev. Bayreuther, 31, has been a staple on the Chicago Wolves of the AHL this season, scoring four times and collecting 13 points in 33 games. He's a 6-foot-2 left-shot blueliner who is under contract through the 2026 season at an NHL price tag of $775,0...
Time to regroup for Vegas tomorrow.
The Ottawa Senators out shot the Carolina Hurricanes, but that’s about all they did well as their goaltending issues cropped up again, meanwhile Brandon Bussi made 33 saves once again looking stellar in net, and the Canes won their 14th on the road by defeating the Senators 4-1. It was the fifth straight game with […]
What better way to hunker down and weather out the beginnings of a major winter storm than putting on some Canes hockey and at least knowing you aren’t dealing with negative temperatures outside? As the frozen precipitation starts to fall around North Carolina, the Carolina Hurricanes will take the ice against the Ottawa Senators tonight […]
The Carolina Hurricanes, as always, are looking to take a big swing as we approach the trade deadline. Last year, it was Mikko Rantanen; the year before that, Jake Guentzel. Most believe that this season will be no different. One top-flight offensive talent they've got their eye on is Robert Thomas of the St. Louis Blues. And according to insider David Pagnotta, appearing on The Sheet with Jeff Marek, the Canes would be willing to part with a terrific young piece of their defense to get ...
The Philadelphia Flyers close out their three-game road trip out west tonight in Colorado against an Avalanche team that is the best in the league — and it’s not particularly close. Nathan MacKinnon & Co. lead the league with 191 goals scored and 114 goals allowed for a staggering +77 goal differential. Mind you, the next best goal differential is the Tampa Bay Lightning at +49, and then the Carolina Hurricanes and Dallas Stars each at +27. So it’s safe to say that the Flyers will face a ...
The Carolina Hurricanes have a reputation for playing the market with patience. If Carolina gets a real shot at landing a true difference maker, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reports the Hurricanes could make highly regarded defenseman Alexander Nikishin available in a package, while also continuing to shop forward Jesperi Kotkaniemi as they explore ways to upgrade before the deadline. The Nikishin angle is what makes this rumor feel real Nikishin isn’t some throw in name, which is e...
Regulation and overtime weren’t enough to decide a winner, but the Blackhawks used the shootout to pick up both points in a 4-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night in Raleigh. Just after the midpoint of the first period, Chicago went ahead 1-0 when a solo effort from Ilya Mikheyev resulted in a shorthanded goal: GOAL: Ilya Mikheyev with a signature shorthanded steal and then he scores on the ensuing rush. What a play pic.twitter.com/QF9v0LQhWj — BHF (@BlackhawksF...
The Carolina Hurricanes came into this game allowing the fewest shots on goal per game in the NHL (24.1). Carolina got the only power play of the first period, which wasn’t ideal. When the horn sounded after 20 minutes of hockey, the Blackhawks had been out-shot 13-4 but took a 1-1 tie to the room. And the Hawks’ one goal came while the Canes had the advantage. The Blackhawks continued to get overwhelmed to start the second period, and helped Carolina by taking too many penalties. Remembe...
The Carolina Hurricanes saw their three-game winning streak snapped in a thrilling back-and-forth game against the Chicago Blackhawks that was decided in a shootout. What proved to be a frustrating night for the Hurricanes on the power play started ugly as Ilya Mikheyev drew first blood just over 10 minutes into the opening stanza with […]
Head down to the comments to talk about Thursday’s game against the Hurricanes! Game Preview
The Blackhawks have a tough test tonight. The Canes are 18-8-1 at home, have won three straight and are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. They also have the second-best goal differential (plus-28) in the Eastern Conference. But the Blackhawks should get a boost with the return of Frank Nazar tonight. He’ll be back in his usual spot up front, which helps lengthen the Hawks’ lineup. This stacks up as a good measuring stick for the young Blackhawks. Broadcast Info Puck Drop: 6:00...
A stretch of games against top-tier opponents for the Hawks begins on Thursday night in Raleigh against the Carolina Hurricanes. In the last seven seasons, Carolina has typically resided near the top of the league standings and has made a trio of conference final appearances — but they haven’t been able to clear that last hurdle just yet. This season continues the regular-season portion of that trend, with the Hurricanes all alone atop the Metro with 66 points in 50 games (31-15-4), well ...
The Carolina Hurricanes will look to extend their winning streak to four games on Thursday night when they welcome the Chicago Blackhawks to the Lenovo Center. The Canes are coming off a wildly impressive three-games-in-four-days stretch that saw them pick off Florida, New Jersey and Buffalo in strong fashion. Carolina got two days off after […]
The Carolina Hurricanes are openly trying to trade Jesperi Kotkaniemi. They don't need the cap space as they are in a unique position where they are contenders and have plenty, but the team would just like to finally end the trial of the younger forward. Kotkaniemi hasn't played very much, and when he does, it's fourth-line minutes, and deservingly so for what he's done. As just 25 years old, there is still more to give and more potential there, but he has to get a different opportunity and a ...
The Blackhawks were back to practice on Wednesday and looked as close to full health as they have in a few months. Part of that was Andre Burakovsky’s return from an illness that sidelined him on Monday night against Winnipeg, but the biggest step in that direction was Frank Nazar’s full participation in practice, suggesting he’ll play for the first time in a month when the Hawks visit the Hurricanes on Thursday night. Frank Nazar said he feels ready to go after being out since Dec. ...
Brandon Bussi made a few spectacular saves and the Carolina Hurricanes rode him to defeat the Buffalo Sabres, 2-1 on Monday afternoon at the Lenovo Center. Bussi, who has been setting NHL records since his time with Carolina, set another one on Monday. He won his first 18 NHL games in the shortest period of […]
The Carolina Hurricanes (30-15-4) have been on fire over their last two games and they are looking to continue that level of play this afternoon at 1:30 PM against the Buffalo Sabres (26-16-5) at home. After dominating the Florida Panthers 9-1 on Friday, including six third period goals, the Canes blew past the New Jersey […]

First Period The real story of the game came in the first period, dooming the Devils from there. I knew in my soul that we were in for a rough one when Frederik Andersen at one point batting the puck out of the air with his paddle. Despite having one of the worst save percentages […]
