Hurricanes Saw Incredible 14-Game Feat End Before Isles Matchup

The Carolina Hurricanes were putting on quite an encore presentation early in 2026-27. That encore hit a speed bump on Tuesday. Walt Ruff and Peter Dewar of Hurricanes.com shared that, in Tuesday night’s loss to the Nashville Predators, “Carolina trailed by a pair of goals for the first time since Oct. 2 and could never recover, despite a second-period strike from Jackson Blake.” That is one of just a few blemishes on Carolina’s otherwise remarkable 2026-27 season that has seen them start the campaign 12-3-2.
