Canes Corner | Carolina Hurricanes podcast from 99.9 The Fan

The Canes scored twice in the 3rd period, rallying to beat the Sharks, 3-2. Carolina was borderline lifeless for 40 minutes, but woke up and put on a very Canes-like display in the 3rd, scoring twice and dominating possession in the win. Brent Burns and Jalen Chatfield scored the goals and Pyotr Kochetkov overcame a rough first two periods to make some very good saves in the win. The Canes had just 13 5-on-5 goals over their last 9 games, but scored 3 times at normal strength. All three goals came through the blue line as Shayne Gostisbehere scored his 6th of the season to open the scoring. Burns' 2nd and Chatfield's 3rd provided the comeback. Kochetkov made 21 saves for his 12th win of the season.

Canes drop 3rd straight, 4-2 to Seattle

Adversity has arrived at Lenovo Center as the Canes lost to the Kraken, 4-2. It was their 3rd loss in a row. Martin Necas had a goal and an assist in the loss and he nearly added a second assist as it was his pass to Jack Drury that lead to an apparent goal that gave the Canes a 3-2 lead in the 3rd period. But, that goal was waved off for goaltender interference. But, the better team tonight won the game. Carolina was held to a season low 18 shots on goal and just 2 in the 2nd period. It was the first time in more than 2 seasons that Carolina was held to as few as 2 shots on goal in a complete period. Pyotr Kochetkov allowed 4 goals in his first game since November 23.

The Canes were shut out by the Senators, 3-0, at Lenovo Center as Linus Ullmark did something he had never done before in his NHL career. As a starter for Buffalo and then Boston, Ullmark had appeared in 9 games against the Canes in the regular season and payoffs combined without ever recording a win. 32 saves later, Ullmark had his first against Carolina. Shane Pinto scored twice, his first two goals since opening night, and Nick Jenson added another, as the Hurricanes fell to 2-5-0 in their last 7 games. Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 19 shots in the loss. Carolina was 0-2 on the power play.
