Sebastian Aho scored twice and Shayne Gostisbehere's overtime power play goal helped the Canes get their first win of the season in a 3-2 win in Philadelphia. Aho's first of the game came just 10 seconds into the 1st period as the Canes led for the first time this season. His second came on a 3rd period power play that tied the game at 2-2. Then he had one of the assists on the Gostisbehere game winner. Pyotr Kochetkov made his first start since December 20 and made 16 saves in the win. Carolina...

The Hurricanes dropped their second straight home game to start the season, losing 5-2 to the Capitals as Brandon Bussi struggled in his second start of the year. Bussi, who was outstanding in the opener even though he allowed a very saveable overtime goal in the 1-0 loss to Florida, allowed 5 goals on 27 shots to the Caps. Unfortunately, three of them should have been stopped. The Canes weren't great by any means, but the eventual 4-0 deficit early in the 2nd period was too much to overcome. Se...

Gustav Forsling's goal, just 4.3 seconds from the end of the overtime, beat Brandon Bussi and the Hurricanes, 1-0, in Carolina's opening game. Brandon Bussi stopped 19 shots, but couldn't get Forsling's drive from just inside the blue line was the difference. The Canes were 0 for 6 on the power play, though they did kill all seven of the Panthers' tries with the man advantage, so the special teams were a wash. Prior to the game the Hurricanes raised their Stanley Cup championship banner to a row...

Brandon Bussi made 22 saves and six different Hurricanes players scored as the Canes whipped the Predators, 6-0, to close the preseason on a 3-game winning streak. Jackson Blake, Jordan Martinook, Nikolaj Ehlers, Logan Stankoven, Mark Jankowski and Andrei Svechnikov each scored in the win. The Canes went 3 out of 4 on the power play and shut Nashville down while shorthanded as the penalty kill was a perfect 5 for 5. Felix Unger-Sorum and Charles-Alexis Legault each made their cases for availabl...

The Hurricanes played their first game in Greensboro in 27 years and it did not disappoint as they rallied with 5 unanswered goals to beat the Predators, 6-5. Logan Stankoven scored twice, including the goal that tied the game at 5-5. Then, with 2.6 seconds remainins, Felix Unger-Sorum took a feed from Bradly Nadeau and wristed home the winner. The second round pick in 2023, who also had the primary assist on Stankoven's game-tying goal, gets his second game-winning goal in two games as it was ...

Bradly Nadeau and Justin Robidas each scored their second goals in as many games and Felix Unger Sorum netted the shootout winner as the Canes beat the Panthers, 3-2. Carolina once again rode the scoring of their prospects against Florida's full lineup as Nadeau's 2nd of the preseason tied the game at 1 in the first period. Then, Robidas' 2nd of the exhibition season tied the game at 2 in the second period. Nadeau would give the Hurricanes the lead in the shootout with a slick forehand-backhand...

The Hurricanes lost, 6-3, in Florida. But, the night was more about how than what. And how some of the Canes young roster hopefuls played was a mixed bag. It was a strong start for Pyotr Kochetkov, but a sideways second period didn't help his confidence. It was his first game action in 9 months, so....We'll talk forwards, like Justin Robidas, Bradly Nadeau and Felix Unger Sorum. There are a couple of roster spots open on the blue line if Alexander Nikishin doesn't sign, so we get into that discu...

What should the Hurricanes do with Alexander Nikishin? Give him a big, long-term contract or do a short-term -- bridge -- deal? What kind of player is Nikishin? Is he a catalyst, like Montreal's Lane Hutson or Ducks' young blueliner Jackson Lacombe? I'm joined by Daily Faceoff host Jonny Lazarus to talk Nikishin, other Canes future questions and the real Metro contenders.

The Canes trailed 4-0 almost midway through the 3rd period. Mitch Marner had the fastest hat trick in Stanley Cup Final history. But, the fastest three goals in Cup history, by Carolina starting with about 7 minutes gone in the frame gave them life and Andre Svechnikov's extra attacker power play goal gtied the game at 4 with just under 2 minutes to play.

The Canes jumped out to a 2-0 lead on a pair of Nikolaj Ehlers 1st period goals, but a series of turnovers and defensive breakdowns fueled a 5-4 Vegas win as the Golden Knights took a 1-0 series lead in the Stanley Cup Final. Ehlers scored on a 2-on-1 just 25 seconds into the game and then doubled the lead off a great pass by Jalen Chatfield.

Andersen's best work was done early as Philadelphia had chances to take the lead in the first 5 minutes. But, saves on Travis Konecny and Alex Bump plus some help from the post ke...
