s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Canes haven't beaten the Blue Jackets in their last eight tries, and those tries have been over the course of eight years, the last win coming in Raleigh on December 15, 2005. Their best chance came on December 23rd when they were within five minutes of victory until the Blue Jackets scored two goals in the waning minutes for a 4-3 regulation win. They...
s that they do not give up. They have shown it time and again so far this season and they came from behind again on Monday night, this time after trailing 2-0 to the Columbus Blue Jackets , as they scored three times in the third period to defeat the visitors, 3-2 in front of 13,641 at the PNC Arena. Eric Staal scored two times within a minute and his brother Jordan, scored the eventual game-winner...
RALEIGH, NC – The National Hockey League today announced that Hurricanes defenseman Andrej Sekera has been named the league’s Third Star for the week ending Jan. 26. Sekera, 27, totaled six points (1g, 5a) and a plus-8 rating last week in Carol......
t won in regulation in a week, dropping three-straight in regulation and one in overtime since they beat the Islanders 6-4 on home ice. Perhaps most troubling for Philadelphia is that three of their past four losses have come to division foes, and all four have been Eastern Conference losses. The Flyers don't see another division foe before the Olympic break. In fact, five of their six games before...
s pads. The first period ended quietly, 1-0, but the second period would be a wild one for both teams. At 6:05 into the second, Alexander Semin made a nice play in his own end with some fancy stickhandling, and then rifled a long pass to Eric Staal , who was breaking into the clear at the Ottawa blueline. The pass hit Staal in stride and the captain beat Lehner five hole to make it 2-0, home...
RALEIGH, NC – Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the National Hockey League’s Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that the team has assigned defenseman Ryan Murphy to the Charlotte Checkers of the American Hockey League (AHL). Mu......
t look now, but Carolina's dominating first line of last season seems to be back as the Hurricanes got two goals from red hot Alexander Semin and another one from Jiri Tlusty , while the Canes came from behind three times to defeat the Buffalo Sabres , 5-3 on Thursday night at First Niagara Center. The line of Eric Staal , Tlusty, and Semin was one of the league's most productive last season, but they...
s scored on 6 of 17 shots over the last four goals. The Hurricanes also seem to be in a mood to score highlight reel goals. From Nathan Gerbe's between the leg goal against the Flyers (and, why pass up the opportunity to watch that one more time ?) to Jeff Skinner's sneaky shot against Jhonas Enroth against the Sabres the Canes are scoring goals that make DVR technology invaluable. The...
up-and-down season continues. Will the Olympic break work in their favor? Signs of optimism that the Carolina Hurricanes might continue their winning streak came in a 6-1 triumph over the Toronto Maple Leafs. However, the following night their five game winning streak ceased as they fell to the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-0 and then lost 2-0 at home to the Calgary Flames. After a few days break, the Hurricanes...
s also a homecoming for two current Hurricanes. Andrej Sekera and Nathan Gerbe both played for the Sabres last season. Sekera was acquired for Jamie McBain and a second round pick (J.T. Compher). That's a trade that I think most Caniacs would say has worked out quite well. Nathan Gerbe was signed as a free agent after being bough out by the Sabres. Both players are having strong...

Semin scored goals in each game and in 3 different ways. He had an even-strength goal, a PP goal and a shorthanded goal. He led the team with 3 goals and 13 shots. Alex also tied for 3rd with a 2 and was on the ice for 5 of the Canes 6 goals. And...

s the second time this season the Hurricanes have had a game postponed: Carolina’s game on Jan. 7 in Buffalo was rescheduled to Feb. 25 — infringing on the last day of the Olympic break — because of bad weather in Western New York. As for rescheduling this game, it's as sticky as fitting in a game in Buffalo. The best chance to play the game might be March 10, which would force Carolina...
t convert the Canes were showing off improved puck movement. Liles has not only done a great job at keeping pucks in the offensive zone, but he has a knack for knowing when to shoot and when to pass. 3. Carolina’s top pairing of Justin Faulk and Andrej Sekera struggled against the Lightning and were on the ice for all five Tampa Bay goals. The duo's point output has also dried up of late: Sekera...
