Canes Corner | Carolina Hurricanes podcast from 99.9 The Fan

The Carolina Hurricanes suffered an overtime loss to the New York Islanders in spite of out-shooting New York by nearly 3-to-1! Carolina put 43 shots on Isles' goalie Symeon Varlamov, and scored 4 times. But, New York got five past Pyotr Kochetkov on just 16 shots on goal. A week ago the Hurricanes saw the Lightning score 8 on just 14 shots. Jalen Chatfield, Jordan Staal, Jack Drury and Sebastian Aho all scored as the Hurricanes failed in their attempt to win their 3rd straight game. 

The Hurricanes beat the Flyers, 4-1, using hard work, solid goaltending and steady play throughout the lineup. Michael Bunting and Brendan Lemieux each filled in for Andrei Svechnikov, who missed the game due to an illness. Bunting subbed for Svech on the top line and scored the game's first goal. Lemieux drew into the lineup for the first time in 8 games and scored his 2nd goal of the year to break a 1-1 tie in the 2nd period. Pyotr Kotchetkov stopped 27 shots and Seth Jarvis and Jasper Kotkaniemi added late 3rd period goals in the win.  

Andrei Svechnikov scored his first of the year in his 12th game of the season helping the Hurricanes to a 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets on Sunday night.  Carolina and Columbus started the third period still looking for the game's first goal, but Karil Marchecnko and Johhny Gaudreau each scored -- with both goals deflecting off Carolina defenseman Brady Skjei -- to give the Blue Jackets a 2-0 lead roughly 7 minutes into the period.  But, goals by Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Brady Skjei got the Canes even and Andrei took a pass from Sebastian Aho for the game-winner with 1:55 left in regulatiion.  Pyotr Kochetkov won his 3rd game of the season, stopping 21 of 23 Columbus shots.

After a dominant defensive performance in the first period, the Carolina Hurricanes were undone by a Tampa Bay Lightning power play explosion in an 8-2 loss at PNC Arena.  Tampa hit the Canes with power play goals three times in a 4:20 span of the 2nd period that saw Carolina's 1-0 lead dissolve into a 2-goal defecit before 6 minutes were gone in the frame.  The Hurricanes would pull one back on a Michael Bunting power play marker late in the period, but Tampa scored 5 unanswered in the 3rd period as they ran away and hid from the Hurricanes.  Carolina will close out a 5-game home stand on Sunday at 5:00 against the Blue Jackets

The Carolina Hurricanes scored 4 times in a 5:30 span in the middle of the first period and mashed the Edmonton Oilers, 6-3, getting the Thanksgiving weekend off to a great start.  The Canes got goals from Jesper Fast, Jack Drury, Teuvo Teravainen and Seth Jarvis as they roasted the Edmonton defense in the 1st period.  Then Martin Necas stuffed home an early goal in the 2nd period to make it 5-1 before the tryptophan took over.  Antti Raanta started, but left after one period with a lower body injury.  Pyotr Kochetkov finished up and played well in relief.  Carolina will try for a 3rd straight win on Friday when they host Tampa Bay.

The Carolina Hurricanes reminded everyone of who they are in a 4-2 win over the Penguins on Saturday night at PNC Arena.  Antti Raanta stopped 26 shots, Seth Jarvis scored twice and the Sebastian Aho-Jarvis-Teuvo Teravainen line combined for 7 points as the Canes bounced back from Wednesday's disappointing loss to Philadelphia.  Now, we'll see if they can do it again on Wednesday against the Edmonton Oilers

The Hurricanes couldn't overcome their own sloppiness and missed chances as they lost to the Flyers, 3-1, at PNC Arena. It was Carolina's first loss of the season on home ice and a bad way to start a 5-game home stand. Stefan Noesen scored the Canes' lone goal, but Carolina had several great chances to put pucks behind Philadelphia's goaltender Carter Hart. The Hurricanes will now have two days off before hosting the Penguins on Saturday.  

For the 9th time in his career - ans 2nd time this year - Martin Necas scored an overtime game winner. 90 seconds into extra time, Necas redirected a Sebastian Aho pass over the shoulder of Sabres goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkanen and the Canes had their 2nd straight win and their 5th in their last 6 times out. Carolina improves to 4-0 in games that have gone beyond regulation and Necas has 2 goals and an assist in the 3 that were decided 3-on-3. Tony DeAngelo and Brady Skjei also scored for Carolina who got a great game from goaltender Antti Raanta. His 19 saves were enough to win his 3rd straight start. 

The Carolina Hurricanes rallied from a 3-0 second period deficit to defeat the New York Islanders, 4-3, in overtime.  Sebastian Aho's 2nd goal of the year sent them back to Raleigh with 4 of 6 points on a 3-game road trip.  Jalen Chatfield's 1st goal of the season came just 32 seconds after the Islanders scored to make it 3-0 and started the comeback.  Dimiti Orlov also scored his first of the year -- and first in a Carolina uniform -- followed by Jesperi Kotkaniemi's 5th as the Canes rallied to set up Aho's extra time heroics.  Antti Raanta made 22 saves in the win.  

The Hurricanes saw their 3-game winning streak snapped in a 2-1 loss to the Rangers in New York City. Seth Jarvis was the only goal-scorer on the night for the Hurricanes who now fall 4 points off the Metropolitan Division lead after 11 games. Frederik Andersen made 24 saves in the loss. The Canes will play the Islanders on the Island Saturday night.
