The Florida Panthers currently find themselves in a much better place in picking up wins in their last three outings. Their win over the Buffalo Sabres at home was their fourth home win in six games as their offense has posted at least three goals in four of these outings.
The Hurricanes, despite dealing with offensive inefficiency all season, fell back to their old ways in posting just a goal in their loss versus the New York Rangers. Despite their inability to remain consistent offensively, their defense has been solid in ranking in the top six teams in the league in goals allowed/shots per game.
Carolina Hurricanes
The Hurricanes entered their matchup with the Rangers winners of three straight games. During this time, they allowed only two goals; However, New York posted two goals on the night on 26 shots on goal while goalkeeper Hinrik Lundqvist (17-16-6) had 43 saves on the night for an outstanding .977 save percentage in the win.
Jordan Martinhook was the long goal scorer for Carolina in this contest as his goal was the first of the game. However, despite 44 shots on goal for Carolina, the Hurricanes were not able to get any breaks late en route to the loss.
