The Southeast Division rivals will try to begin a late run at the expense of each other Tuesday night at the St. Pete Times Forum. The Hurricanes seem unlikely to be able to overcome a 5-17-5 start to reach the playoffs. They are tied for 12th in the Eastern Conference, eight points behind eighth-place Boston with 10 games remaining. Carolina earned back-to-back overtime wins over Washington and Pittsburgh last week, but could not defeat a third straight division leader and fell 5-3 to Buffalo on Sunday. The weary Hurricanes, playing their third game in four days, gave up five goals in the first 32 minutes.
The Hurricanes won all three games at Tampa last season but lost 5-2 in their most recent visit Oct. 10. On the verge of missing the playoffs for the third straight season, the Lightning are also eight points behind Boston with 10 games left. Five consecutive regulation defeats and a 2-11-1 record since Feb. 10 may have sunk Tampa Bay’s chances. A lack of offense is mostly to blame for the current skid, as Tocchet’s club has scored seven times over the past five games. Vincent Lecavalier and Steve Downie have accounted for most of the production during that span.
