Carolina Hurricanes: Morning After a dud against the Lightning

Canes lacked spark -- and goals -- in 4-0 loss to Tampa

The Hurricanes were shut out at home by the Tampa Bay Lightning, 4-0, on Tuesday night as they failed to extend their Metropolitan Division lead over the idle New Jersey Devils.  The Canes continue to have a 3-point cushion atop the division with 9 games to play in the regular season.  Brayden Point scored twice and Steven Stamkos added his 21st career goal against Carolina as the Bolts snapped a 4-game losing streak.  Pyotr Kochetkov didn't play nearly as well as he did in Saturday's win over Toronto, stopping 18 of 21 shots he faced.  The Hurricanes will next play on Thursday night in Detroit.
