The Hurricanes are 1-5-1 in their last seven away from home, being outscored 23-11 in that stretch after a 2-1 loss in Philadelphia on Thursday. Carolina is 1-3-1 in its last five, scoring two goals or less in each loss. That may be a tall task if Cam Ward continues to struggle. He’s 1-3-1 with a 2.77 goals-against average in his last five starts and 1-5-2 with a 2.77 GAA in his last eight on the road. Since a 6-4 home victory Jan. 15 against Tampa Bay, the Hurricanes are 4-6-1 and have been shut out twice. Despite the slump, Tuomo Ruutu likened Carolina’s position to that of last season’s Flyers, who made the Stanley Cup finals as a No. 7 seed.
Tampa Bay and the now-defunct California Golden Seals in 1975-76 are the only teams in NHL history to host 12 straight games. Carolina Hurricanes haven’t done much to solidify their postseason case of late as their offense has struggled. That may change if the Tampa Bay Lightning can’t figure out how to stop the opposition’s attack. Tampa Bay continues its NHL record-tying 12-game homestand Saturday night against Carolina, which has dropped four of five. The Lightning allowed six total goals and recorded back-to-back shutouts during a six-game winning streak from Jan. 18-Feb. 1. They’ve lost two of three since while giving up 15 goals, including five in the third period Tuesday in a 7-4 loss to Buffalo.
