Watch Minnesota Wild vs Carolina Hurricanes Live Online

Carolina Hurricanes came as close to earning two points as they have in weeks their last time out. The end result, though, was the same as in their previous 13 games - a loss. A visit from the Minnesota Wild may provide as good a chance as any to snap their skid. No team has lost more games on the road than the Wild, and the Hurricanes will try to take advantage Sunday afternoon in Raleigh as they seek their first victory since Oct. 9. Carolina (2-12-4) reached the Eastern Conference finals last season before being swept by Pittsburgh - four straight losses that seem minor compared to the club’s current drought.

The Hurricanes have been outscored 54-26 during their 14 consecutive defeats (0-10-4). With a 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Islanders on Friday, Carolina tied the franchise record of 14 games in a row without a win set by the 1991-92 Hartford Whalers, who went 0-8 with six ties. No team since the 2004-05 lockout has gone as long without a victory. After rallying from a three-goal deficit, scoring three goals for the first time in nine games and earning a point for the first time in eight, Carolina found positives in Friday’s effort.

Carolina had not earned a point since Oct. 24 , when Sergei Samsonov and Joni Pitkanen scored for the Hurricanes before Cal Clutterbuck’s goal gave the Wild a 3-2 overtime victory. That Minnesota win came at home, but the Wild (7-11-1) have been woeful on the road at 2-9-1.
