Canes Corner | Carolina Hurricanes podcast from 99.9 The Fan

Brett Pesce waited 22 games before he scored his first of the year, helping the Canes to beat Calgary, 3-2, on Saturday. That was so much fun, he decided to do it again, converting an Andrei Svechnikov feed into the OT winner as Carolina won for the second straight game, 3-2. Martin Necas (11th) and Svechnikov (14th) each scored, Sebastian Aho dished off a pair of assists. And, Carolina overcame the downer of Jake Guentzel's game-tying goal in the final minute of regulation to win their second in a row. The Hurricanes will try to make this a winning streak in St. Louis on Thursday

The Carolina Hurricanes rode their power play to a 3-2 win over Calgary Saturday night, snapping a 5-game losing streak. The 5 game winless stretch tied the longest in the Rod Brind'Amour regime as head coach. Seth Jarvis broke an 11-game goal scoring drought and Martin Necas and Brett Pesce scored on the power play which now has 4 goals in their last two games. For Pesce, it was his first goal of the season and it was the game winner at 8:46 of the third period. Antti Raanta made 18 saves in the win, his first since November 4 against the Sabres. The Canes start a 6-game road trip Tuesday in Pittsburgh.

The Hurricanes winless streak continued with a 3-2 overtime loss in Boston. On the bright side, Carolina did score two power play goals. But, they failed on their next four tries and ultimately gave up a 2-0 lead when the second of David Krejci's two goals beat Pyotr Kochetkov midway through the 3rd period. David Pastrnak's 14th goal of the year won it for the Bruins in overtime. Boston is now 12-0-0 at home this season, the best in NHL history to hope a home schedule.

The Hurricanes were shut out by the Coyotes, 4-0, on Thanksgiving eve. Carolina is winless since last Monday in Chicago and have scored just 18 goals in their last 9 games. The power play is scoreless in their last 6 games and is just 1 for the last 28. But, it's Thanksgiving, so enjoy your family and we'll run it all back on Friday when the Canes meet the Bruins in Boston.

With six minutes to play in Winnipeg Rod Brind'Amour threw up his hands, yanked rookie goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov from his crease and tried something -- anything -- to spark his team. What happened next -- goals from Jaccob Slavin, Andrei Svechnikov and Martin Necas -- is really sports in a nutshell. Anything can happen because these games are the greatest, unscripted reality shows on TV. Carolina scored 3 times in 4:09 to force overtime....where they promptly lost the game to Josh Morrissey's second goal of the game. Maybe this will still get Carolina's attention.

Carolina dominated the shot chart, had more than twice the puck possession and triple the scoring chances -- especially those in the high danger areas -- but could only muster two goals and fell in overtime to the Avalanche, 3-2. The Hurricanes are either lucky or unlucky to be 10-5-2 on the season. Either way, we're bound to find out over the next few weeks. Nine of the Hurricanes next 11 games are on the road beginning Saturday night in Minnesota.

Pyotr Kochetkov made 27 saves as the Hurricanes shut out the Blackhawks, 3-0. Jordan Staal and Jordan Martinook each had a goal and an assist in the win as Carolina moved to 10-5-1 on the season.

Mikko Rantanen factored in on all four Colorado goals and the top 5 scorers totaled all of the Avalanche points in the 4-1 win over the Hurricanes. Rantanen assisted on the first three Colorado goals before icing the game with a full-court sling into an empty net. Cale Makar scored twice and Nathan MacKinnon had a goal and an assist. Jordan Staal had Carolina's only goal and Antti Raanta made 24 saves in the loss.

Andrei Svechnikov's second hat trick of the season -- again, versus the Oilers -- leads Carolina to a dominating, 7-2 win over Edmonton. Andrei now has 6 of his 11 goals this season against the Oilers. Carolina put 11 different players on the scoresheet, including 6 with multiple points. Pyotr Kochetkov was dynamite in net, making 20 saves. The 23-year old rookie also provided the highlight of the entire evening with a dazzling poke check to deny Edmonton's Zach Hyman a breakaway goal in the second period.

The Hurricanes suffered their first shutout defeat of the season tonight, 3-0, at the hands of the Florida Panthers. The Canes finally got great goaltending -- this time from Antti Raanta -- but couldn't support it with any offense. Carolina has now gone 111:49 without a goal dating back to the first period against Toronto.
