It'll be a battle to see who did a better job of recovering from Game 1 when the Florida Panthers face off against the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final at PNC Arena on Saturday. In just over five minutes, here's everything you need to know before puck drop.
For the first time in the last two playoff seasons the Carolina Hurricanes lost game one on home ice. Matthew Tkachuk’s goal just before the death of the 4th overtime made Florida a 3-2 winner. The two teams combined for 125 shots on goal with Frederik Andersen and Sergei Bobrovsky making 120 saves in the classic duel. Andersen (57 saves) was at his best in the OT, making 15 Grade-A stops before Tkachuk’s game-winner. Bobrovsky robbed so many Hurricanes that Raleigh Police considered calling in the State Bureau of Investigations (clearly a joke). Carolina went 2 for 6 on the power play while going a perfect 3 for 3 on the penalty kill in the loss. Game 2 is Saturday at 8:00 at PNC Arena.

The first game of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Florida Panthers and the Carolina Hurricanes is now the sixth-longest game in NHL history (4OTs). The longest game in NHL history was played between the Detroit Red Wings and the Montreal Maroons on March 24, 1936. The game had six overtimes and lasted for 176 minutes and 3 seconds.

We are in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs Second Round. Kicking things off is the Carolina Hurricanes vs. the New Jersey Devils. The Devils took Game 3 in a massive 8-4 win. After the Canes took the first two games in the series at PNC Arena, the Devils need to take both games back at home in the Prudential Center. The Canes managed to climb back into Game 3 after scoring three short-handed goals in the third period. The Canes got off to a fast start in Games 1 and 2, which set the tone, but Game 3 was different. Martin Necas' first shot of the game hit the post very early in the first; maybe that was a sign of things to come for the Hurricanes. Devils were able to take advantage of the bounces that didn't go the Canes' way. How is Game 4 going to play out for these teams? The NHL Draft Lottery has come and gone. Oh, and there's a lot of people out there who are not happy about the results. There have been some rumors about whether or not the lottery is rigged. Maybe this year we found out it is? Overall, the draft results didn't change from when the season ended. In fact, there weren't any changes to the draft rankings until the Top 3 with the Anaheim Ducks, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Chicago Blackhawks. As the Top 3 were about to be announced, did NHL Network analyst Kevin Weekes prove the lottery is rigged?
The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the New Jersey Devils 5-1 in Game One of the second round in front of their home crowd inside PNC Arena. Not only did the Hurricanes' defensemen deliver, but Seth Jarvis, Sebastian Aho, Jordan Staal, and Jordan Martinook all had great showings. Dennis Cox & Brian Murphy, WRALSports investigator, discuss the good start to the series.
The Carolina Hurricanes got off to a super start in a 5-1 win over the Devils to open up their best-of-seven series. Brett Pesce and Seth Jarvis each scored during a dominant opening period that saw Carolina out-shoot New Jersey 10-1. Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Brady Skjei and Jesper Fast would add goals and Frederik Andersen made 17 saves in the win. He's 2-0 in the playoffs with 50 saves on 52 shots on goal. Also starring, Carolina's penalty kill which was 2 for 2 on the night and has now stopped 19 of 20 power plays this postseason. Game 2 is Friday night at 8:00 at PNC Arena.
A historic playoff rival is renewed as the New Jersey Devils face the Carolina Hurricanes in game one of the second rounds in the Stanely Cup Playoffs. Dennis Cox & Louis Fernandez, WRAL Sports, are outside of PNC Arena to preview the matchup tonight. Not only is there a lot of history between these two teams, but they battled for the first-place spot in the Metropolitan Divison throughout the regular season. What kind of series can we expect to see?
When fans walk into PNC Arena tomorrow for game one of the second round between the New Jersey Devils and Carolina Hurricanes, they'll see some Devils fans in attendance and most likely they'll be from the local area. This has always been an ongoing joke with the Hurricanes fanbase when it comes to opposing fans attending games in Raleigh. Well, public data shows that in nearby cities in Raleigh, there are registered voters whose birthplace shows that they moved here to join the rapidly growing community. Also, Carolina Hurricanes history shows since relocating to Raleigh, they've never lost a playoff series to a rookie goaltender, so what will they have to do to beat Akira Schmid, rookie goalie for the New Jersey Devils in this upcoming series?
During the "Daily Checkdown" Chris and Dennis discuss how there's already a mock draft out for the 2024 NFL Draft and it has Drake Maye projected to go fourth overall to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Also, the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs begins tomorrow night as the Carolina Hurricanes welcome the New Jersey Devils to PNC Arena for Game One. The Devils are coming off a 4-0 win over the New York Rangers in a Game 7, but is fatigue going to play that much of a factor in game one, with the energy the Devils have?
It's official, last night with the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft the Carolina Panthers selected Bryce Young as their future quarterback. Bryce Young had his introductory press conference this afternoon at Bank of America Stadium as he spoke with the media. Pat Welter of WRAL Sports is on-site and shares what the experience was like as the fans welcomed Bryce Young and what stood out the most during his press conference. Also, the Carolina Hurricanes return to action tonight as they face the New York Islanders in Game 6 on the road in Long Island. Rod Brind'Amour hasn't announced who the starting goaltender will be. It's important for the Carolina Hurricanes to close things out tonight so that they don't have to return to PNC Arena for Game 7 on Sunday.
The Hurricanes played well, but were victim to a couple of costly mistakes in a 3-2 loss at PNC Arena in Game 5. The series now shifts back to Long Island for Game 6 on Friday night. Brent Burns and Jaccob Slavin combined on a 1st period miscue that ended up on Pierre Engvall's stick and he slid the puck underneath the left pad of Antti Raanta for a 1-0 lead. Then, New York got a fortunate bounce as an Engvall shot deflected off the face of Sebastian Aho and fell to Brock Neslon at the side of the goal. Nelson batted the puck in out of the air for a 2-0 lead. Paul Stastny brought a goal back on a deflection of a Jalen Chatfield point shot. But, the Isles restored the 2-goal margin late in the 2nd period after Martin Necas had the puck stolen from him at the blue line leading to a Matt Barzal goal. Sebastian Aho closed out the scoring midway through the 3rd on a beautiful pass from Seth Jarvis but Carolina couldn't find the equalizer.
Sebastian Aho and Stefan Noesen each scored on the power play and Antti Raanta stopped 24 shots as the Carolina Hurricanes took game 1 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinal Series from the New York Islanders, 2-1. The Canes scored on each of their first two tries with the man advantage and Raanta won his 3rd consecutive series-opening game for Carolina. Carolina's penalty kill was also stellar, shutting the Isles out on 4 opportunities. New York registered 3 shots on goal during their first attempt, but just 1 on their other three combined. Brent Burns and Martin Necas each had 2 assists on the night. Game 2 is Wednesday night at PNC Arena.
