Hurricanes @ Blues: Preview, How to Watch, Game Thread
Maybe it’s because of the upcoming trip to Finland has a four day break before and after, or maybe it’s the earlier start to the season that allows some rhythm to have already been established, but this year’s State Fair Road Trip just didn’t feel as long as it normally does. There have been some […]
Oilers earn shootout win over Canes in game of the year so far
Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl each notched two goals and three assists for five points on a night where they didn’t have to go up against Jordan Staal.

Hurricanes at Flames: Preview, How to Watch, Game Thread
Hope you enjoyed your three day break as the Hurricanes are right back in action tonight.

The Carolina Hurricanes bring their 4-1-1 record, which puts them in first place in the Metropolitan Division, to Philadelphia, (0-4-2) where the Flyers have yet to win a game this season.

Hurricanes vs. Vancouver: Preview, How to Watch, Game Thread
So apparently the Hurricanes still thought the preseason had six games and the regular season had 82 games? The first two games of 26-27 had all the hallmarks of the Canes still trying to warm up to the regular season, with a flat offensive showing on both sides against Florida and just a total domination […]
Hurricanes 6, Canadiens 4
The Carolina Hurricanes renewed a budding rivalry with the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night at the Bell Centre in the first rematch of last year’s Eastern Conference Final of the new season. The game followed a similar script to what we’ve come to expect from showdowns between these two teams, as the Hurricanes carried play […]

Hurricanes host Capitals—Preview, How to Watch, Game Thread
In a weird way it feels like the season actually begins tonight. You almost want to write off the first game as with all of the ceremony around it plus the fact that it was the only game in the league for the first two periods. Honestly with the way both teams played you’d be […]
Storm Advisory: Newsy Thursday with Primeau and Hurricanes TV coverage
Hurricanes fans had a couple of bigger news items drop on Thursday, and neither had to do with practice before they meet the Washington Capitals on Friday.
