Canes survive OT on Jarvis game winner

The Canes won their second straight game to open the season, beating the Flyers 4-3 in overtime. Seth Jarvis scored the game-winner with 16.7 seconds left on the clock -- and 36.1 seconds after Philadelphia's Bobby Brink had his goal disallowed due to goaltender interference. Jarvis' 3rd goal of the year was the 99th of his career. Jordan Staal is also nearing a milestone as his late 2nd period goal was the 299th of his impressive career. Logan Stankoven and Taylor Hall also scored in the wi...

Miller, Jarvis lead Canes to 6-3 opening night win

K'Andre Miller and Seth Jarvis each scored twice as the Canes beat the Devils 6-3 on opening night in Raleigh. The new guys played well. The "old" guys did, too, as Sebastian Aho led the way in the 3rd period. Miller was noticeably good all night long and gave fans a glimpse of how he could thrive playing here. Equally important was the way Alexander Nikishin played while paired with Shayne Gostisbehere. It was also a good night for the Jesperi Kotkaniemi line as the Hurricanes used their d...

It's a wrap, as Canes close the preseason with OT loss to Preds

The Canes lost the preseason finale in overtime -- during which Andrei Svechnikov absorbed a huge check from Nashville's Joakim Kemell. Jordan Martinook and Seth Jarvis scored and Pyotr Kochetkov kept the Canes in the game with a stellar 3rd period. We also delve into Bradly Nadeau and the fact that the Hurricanes will NOT be signing Michael McLeod.

Has Nadeau done enough to make the Canes' opening night roster?

Bradly Nadeau scored for the 3rd straight game -- actually he didn't because the goal didn't count due to the play being ruled offside. But, we saw the play and it was one of those goals that makes you think that the kid could make the team. It's at least worth a conversation.

Nadeau making his case in 4-2 win

Bradly Nadeau scored twice and Jackson Blake chipped in with a pair of assists as the Canes won their first game of the preseason, 4-2, over the Nashville Predators. The goals give Nadeau -- the team's 1st round pick in the 2023 draft -- 3 in the exhibition season as he continues to try to convince the coaching staff that he's ready for the big leagues. Felix Unger Sorum, Carolina's second rounder that same year, also scored in the win. He finished off a great Eric Robinson rush tapping home ...

Canes lose wild one in Tampa, 6-5

It wasn't necessarily well-played, but it was entertaining. Carolina lost 6-5 to the Lightning and fell to 0-3-0 in the preseason. Jesperi Kotkaniemi scored his second goal in as many games, Givani Smith scored his first goal of the preseason and Kevin Lebanc added an assist in his third straight game in the loss.

Canes blow late lead, lose 4-2 to the Panthers

"Good thing the game doesn't count", was how Rod Brind'Amour summed up the 4-2 loss to the Panthers. "Well, we learned how not to play", was what Sebastian Aho said. But, for 40 minutes the Canes dominated the Panthers and it's best that we just talk about that. So, let's do that.

Canes fall to Tampa, 2-1, in preseason opener

It was just the preseason opener, but there were things worth seeing in the Canes' 2-1 loss to the Lightning. Logan Stankoven played center, fairly well, and scored the lone Hurricanes goal. Jackson Blake was his normal self. Alexander Nikishin showed physicality and a multi-faceted game that is sure to make the head coach happy -- though there is a ton of room for him to get better. There was enough to like and enough to correct before Wednesday's game with Florida.

Who else will challenge in the Metro?

The Metropolitan Division has to have three playoff teams. Last year, the Capitals had a magical season and finished top of the pile. Will they repeat? Will the Rangers bounce back? Or will it be someone else that emerges to join -- presumably -- the Hurricanes and Devils?

Centers of attention in Carolina

From Captain Jordan Staal to Logan Stankoven, the Canes hope to be the center of attention in the Metropolitan Division. And, reports have the Canes also lined up to add Michael McLeod to the group. Yes, the same Michael McLeod that was the point person in that explosive trial in London, Ontario in which he and four other members of the 2018 Canadian World Junior Hockey gold medal-winning team were acquitted of sexual assault.

Can the Canes win the cup with their current goaltending?

So many people think the Hurricanes need a top ten goalie to win the cup. But, what if I told you that wasn't true at all. AND, the Hurricanes arguably already have one in Frederik Andersen?

Canes reelers in their top free agent target

The Hurricanes signed Nikolaj Ehlers to a free agent contract on Thursday. They add a bonafide point producer to a top 4 defender in K'Andre Miller and a couple of organizational depth goaltenders -- so far -- in the summer of 2025. We sampled two clips from Elliotte Friedman's 32 Thoughts podcast for assistance.

Canes stay "On Brand" at the draft.

The Hurricanes traded back in the draft -- TWICE -- and drafted a whole bunch of players from Russia, just like they've done the last few years. The Canes turned picks in the latter stages of the 1st and 3rd rounds into five picks in between, turning 29 and 89 into 41, 49, 62, 67 and 87. They drafted a goalie with their first selection and have now taken 19 Russian players in the last 4 draft years.

Canes Corner: Trying to bridge the gap with Florida

It won't be easy because the Panthers just might be one of the best teams in the last 40 years, but Carolina has to bridge the gap somewhat in order to legitimately compete with Florida in the east. So, let's dig into some of the players who just might be able to make that happen. Oh, and there's a bonus conversation with Jaccob Slavin at the end.

Panthers rally, knock Canes from playoffs, 5-3

The Canes jumped out to a 2-0 lead thanks to a pair of Sebastian Aho goals. But, the Panthers seized their chances in the 2nd period, scoring 3 times in a 4:36 span and went on to win it 5-3. Florida advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals for the third straight year winning the series 4 games to 1. Seth Jarvis scored a 3rd period goal that brought the game even at 3-3, but Carter Verhaeghe scored less than 4 minutes later to restore the Panthers to the lead and the Canes never scored again.

Frederik Andersen came back into the lineup after mising Game 3 and shut out the Panthers on 20 shots. Logan Stankoven scored early in the 2nd period to give the Canes their first lead of the series. That goal proved to be the game-winner, though Carolina would add on 2 empty net goals for the final total. Game 5 will be Wednesday night in Raleigh.
