Cary-lina, NC – The conference leading Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Canes, 3-2, Saturday, Dec. 3, 2011 in an Eastern Conference Game.

He’s been on fire since his return, which is good for the NHL, while bad for the Canes.

Cary-lina, NC – The Carolina Hurricanes had the Winnipeg Jets in town the day after Thanksgiving for a Southeast Division matchup. The Canes have 4 of the next 5 games at home and need to win all as they’re against Eastern Conference teams.
The Canes have also played more games than any NHL team this season so a flat-out win is a must. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen as they lost 3-1 in a disappointing performance. Read more
