The Carolina Hurricanes (14-6-6, 11-15 ATS) saw their four-game winning streak come to an end when they fell to the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday, losing in overtime, 4-3. Three times Carolina battled back from one-goal deficits in this contest, forcing overtime before losing just before the two-minute mark of the extra session. This is the fourth of a five-game road trip that has seen the club go 2-0-1 through the first three contests and they are 4-0-4 in their last eight road games.
“At least we came back,” said head coach Rod Brind'Amour. “We got back into the game, had a good second period, and then you could see how exhausted we were there in the third. We had no jump.”
