Canes open holiday weekend with 4-2 loss to Rangers
The Hurricanes dropped their second straight game -- first time all year that's happened -- in a 4-2 decision to the NY Rangers. It was a game in which the Canes probably should have scored five times, but they only rang the bell twice. Shayne Gostisbehere and Seth Jarvis tallied for Carolina, but despite out-chancing New York 15-3 over the last two periods, the Rangers scored three times and held the Canes at bay. Frederik Andersen allowed 3 goals on 17 shots and lost for the 4th straight time. Andersen has one win since October 23 and has allowed at least 3 goals in 11 of his 13 starts this season. 37 goalies have played in at least 10 games this season, and Freddie's .873 SV% is 33rd among them. Carolina's power play scored for the 3rd straight game.
