Hurricanes 3, Rangers 2 – OT

Looking to go into the holiday break on a positive note after two gut-wrenching losses in Florida last weekend, the Carolina Hurricanes laid another egg in Raleigh on Tuesday, falling 5-2 to the Florida Panthers after one of the more dismal periods of hockey the team has played under Rod Brind’Amour.

This is certainly true when looking at the Metropolitan Division right now. All eight Metro teams were in action last night, and all but Columbus secured at least one point in the standings. The shootout […]
