Ben Case: Canes Hope to End 2-Game Skid Against Panthers and Recap on Senators loss Tonight, the Carolina Hurricanes (8-8-4) face-off at home against the Florida Panthers (11-9-1) at 6:00. Both teams come into the evening on their second game in consecutive days—the Canes suffered a gut-wrenching 2-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators (13-7-1) while Florida was able to pull-out a shootout win against the Columbus Blue Jackets (11-5-4). While a win tonight is “only two points,” the significance of those two points are huge as the Panthers are most likely one of the teams the Canes will battle against in an attempt to clench a wildcard playoff spot.

The Canes have been a strong second period team all season. I'm anxious for them to be more of a 60 minute team. Third period play has been a white knuckle event as a fan.
