The Hurricanes are on Fire as They Charge into the Playoffs!
Description
The Carolina Hurricanes have seized control of second place in their division after winning seven straight games and eight of their last nine. Their goaltenders have been exceptional with Kochetkov posting a .960 save percentage in his last four games.
• Goaltending excellence from Kochetkov and Anderson providing stability that allows the team to dictate pace instead of playing from behind
• Mark Jankowski's surprising impact with four goals on four shots since being acquired at the deadline
• Logan Stankoven bringing relentless energy and battle despite his smaller stature, earning comparisons to Brendan Gallagher
• Team chemistry finally clicking after offseason changes, with shared adversity helping forge stronger connections
• Andrei Svechnikov likely to rejoin Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis on the top line when healthy
• Power play remains a significant concern at just 9.4% success rate in March
• William Carrier's eventual return creates tough lineup decisions with Robinson, Jankowski and Roslovic all playing well
• Upcoming West Coast road trip provides opportunities to continue momentum against San Jose, Los Angeles and Anaheim
• Potential UFA targets to consider include Taylor Hall and Eric Robinson as priorities for re-signing
