Hurricanes Split Mini New York Trip in Comeback Win on the Island
November 5, 2023 by Zach Martin
After winning the month of October with a three-game winning streak, the Carolina Hurricanes took a mini road trip for two games in New York. Their first game of the trip was on Thursday, Nov. 2 versus the Metropolitan Division leaders in the New York Rangers. Carolina finished the trip on Saturday, Nov. 4 versus the New York Islanders on Long Island. While both games were tough battles for the Hurricanes, they managed to win two out of a possible four points on the trip. The Hurricanes dropped a nail-biter on Thursday against the Rangers 2-1, however, the game on Saturday was one for the ages. They stormed back from down 3-0 to win in overtime 4-3 over the Islanders. After it was all said and done, what stood out from the road trip to New York?
The Finntastic Finns: Hurricanes’ Kotkaniemi Cannot be Stopped
November 6, 2023 by Zach Martin
If you asked any Carolina Hurricanes fan who they thought would be leading the team in points after 12 games might have given you different answers. Some might say Sebastian Aho, who got an eight-year huge contract extension in the offseason. Some might even say Andrei Svechnikov or Martin Necas, who led the team in points last season. Although, there might be one or two people who might have gotten this player right because he is their favorite Hurricane. That player? It is none other than Jesperi Kotkaniemi.
