Canes Corner | Carolina Hurricanes podcast from 99.9 The Fan

The Hurricanes kept it simple in their 3-2 win in Washington. They got to the front of the net to create traffic in front of the Capitals' goal. They got pucks through from the blue line and the Canes scored two of their three goals on net front deflections. Throw in 34 Freddie Andersen save and you have the recipe for a 3-2 win. Brent Burns, Paul Stastny and Stefan Noesen scored and Noesen added an assist hitting for 2 points for the 4th time this year. Carolina is off Wednesday before coming back to PNC Arena on Thursday to induct Cam Ward into the Hurricanes Hall of Fame

Artemi Panarin scored 4 goals, 3 in a decisive third period as the Rangers beat the Hurricanes 6-2 at PNC Arena. The loss ended Carolina's 7 game winning streak and trimmed their lead over the Devils to 3 points in the Metropolitan Division. The Canes led 2-1 on goals from Teuvo Teravainen and Jesperi Kotkaniemi until Panarin's 1st goal, with just over 2:00 remained in the 2nd period. From that point on, the Hurricanes sort of fell apart. Panarin's 2nd of the night was the product of a Vincent Trocheck steal and proved to be the game winner. Carolina is off until playing in Washington on Tuesday.

What is going to happen at the trade deadline? What goes into getting ready for the Stadium Series game? The answers to those questions are right here as I'm joined by Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal and The Athletic to talk about what may -- or should -- happen over the next few weeks. Then a conversation with Steve Mayer of the NHL who's in charge of putting on the party that is the Stadium Series game against the Caps.

Canes won their 7th straight, 5-1 over the Buffalo Sabres and head into the All Star break with a 10-game point streak. Sebastian Aho scored for the 6th consecutive game, netting a power play goal early in the 1st period. Stefan Noesen, Brent Burns, Derek Stepan and Jordan Martinook each scored, with Martinook's coming shorthanded into an empty net to close out the scoring. The Hurricanes have 8 shorthanded goals since the start of January and have only allowed 9 power play goals. Now, everyone is headed to a beach until we resume the schedule Saturday, February 11 at PNC Arena against the Rangers.

Sebastian Aho's 22nd goal of the year capped a 4-goal comeback as the Carolina Hurricanes won for the 6th straight time. The Canes entered the 3rd period trailing 4-1 after an utterly disastrous 2nd period. Carolina was a puck management and decision-making catastrophe in the middle frame and the mistakes cost them on 3 of the four goals -- at least. But, similarly to Friday's win over the Sharks, this team doesn't understand that sometimes it's just not your night. And, when Paul Stastny potted a rebound of a Derek Stepan shot 3 1/2 minutes into the 3rd period, you could sense the difference. Jordan Staal scored 6 minutes later to draw within 1. Then Teuvo Teravainen's power play goal leveled the score. Freddie Andersen won his 6th straight decision since returning from injury. Canes are in Buffalo Wednesday night as they close out the pre All Star Game portion of the schedule.

Special teams won the day as the Hurricanes beat the Boston Bruins, 4-1, at PNC Arena. Paul Stastny scored a power play goal, Jordan Staal scored a shorthanded goal into an empty net and the Canes' penalty kill was a perfect 6 for 6 in sending the Bruins to their third straight loss. Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis also scored in the win, Carolina's 5th in a row as they also extend their point streak to 8 consecutive games (7-0-1).

With less than 2 minutes remaining, the Hurricanes trailed the San Jose Sharks, 4-2. But, Sebastian Aho's second goal of the period gave them a chance and Martin Necas' 20th of the year forced overtime. From there, just put Marty on the ice and go warm up the car. Necas scored his 2nd OT goal in as many games and his 3rd of the year. This one came off a feed from Andrei Svechnikov (2 assists) just 55 seconds into extra time. Antti Raanta got the win and extends his personal point streak to 11 games. The last time Raanta lost in regulation was November 12. Canes are back at it Sunday at 5:00 against the Boston Bruins.

The Carolina Hurricanes beat the Dallas Stars 3-2 in overtime when Martin Necas does what Martin Necas does: scores overtime goals against the Stars. For the second time this year, Necas beat Dallas in extra time, the first coming in December's 5-4 win in Raleigh. Sebastian Aho scored shorthanded, Brent Bruns added a goal and Antii Raanta came off the bench for an injured Frederick Andersen to stop all fifteen shots in the win.

Sebastian Aho broke open a 2-2 game with 3 consecutive goals as the Carolina Hurricanes skated past the New York Islanders, 5-2, at UBS Arena on Long Island. Aho's 15th goal came in transition, off a feed from Teuvo Teravainen, and put the Hurricanes ahead, 3-2, in the 2nd period. Aho's second was entirely his doing, stealing a puck deep in the Islanders zone and beating Ilya Sorokin past the blocker side. His third was a hard-working empty net slider and closed out the scoring. Jordan Staal had a goal and an assist in the win. The Hurricanes are off until Wednesday when they play in Dallas.

The Carolina Hurricanes gave up the first goal but scored the next five in a 5-2 win over the Minnesota Wild. Frederik Andersen was stellar for the second straight start and Carolina once again got tons of offensive production from the blue line in the win. But, all excitement was lost when Max Pacioretty went down with a non-contact injury to his lower right leg, the same one that has his surgically repaired achilles. Pacioretty, the pure goal-scorer this team has craved has only played in 5 games for the Canes this year after being acquired from Vegas in the summer. The Hurricanes got goals from Brent Burns, Brady Skjei and Teuvo Teravainen in the 2nd period, and then Jalen Chatfield and Martin Necas in the 3rd. For Skjei, his power play goal gave him 10 on the season -- a career high. Teravainen's goal came shorthanded and snapped an 8-game goal drought. The Hurricanes will next be on the ice on Saturday on Long Island against the Islanders.
