Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 29 shots and Martiin Necas had 2 goals and 2 assists as the Canes gave St Louis the blues to the tune of a 4-1 victory Sunday night.  Kochetkov, who left last week's game in Utah with a lower body injury returned to the lineup and was outstanding, turning aside all but one of about a dozen great St Louis scoring chances.  Meanwhile, Necas extended his points streak to 13 straight games with two goals and two assists -- yes, he factored in on every Carolina goal.  Necas...

Spencer Martin stopped 24 shots and Sebastian Aho got back into the goal-scoring business as the Canes shut down the Senators, 4-0.  It was the first of a brief back-to-back homestand as Carolina will welcome the Blues Sunday afternoon.  Jordan Martinook's 6th goal in as many games staked the Canes to a 1-0 lead in the first period.  Aho's late second period power play goal gave the Canes a 2-0 lead not to mention a ton of momentum heading into the locker room.  It was also his first goal in...

Karel Vejmelka made 49 saves as the Canes lost to the Utah Hockey Club, 4-1. Not only did the Hurricanes pump 50 shots at the Utah goaltender, but they also wasted 11 minutes of 3rd period power play time. Pyotr Kochetkov takes the loss allowing 3 of the 4 Club goals. It was his first "L" in 3 weeks having won his last 7 starts. Worrying is that it appeared he might have injured himself on the goal that gave Utah the lead for good in the 3rd period. Martin Necas scored his 9th goal of the...

The Canes scored twice on the power play, were perfect on the penalty kill and got solid goaltending from Frederik Andersen in a convincing win over the Penguins. Sixty four seconds after Drew O'Connor gave the Pens a 1-0 lead, Carolina rookie Jackson Blake brought the Canes even with his second goal of the season. Martin Necas and Shayne Gostisbehere scored power play goals - Carolina's first two of the season - and Jack Roslovic's first goal of the season closed out the scoring. 

The Canes played their game to perfection. The rookie got his first NHL goal. And the Canes beat the Devils for their first win of the season. 

Canes conceded two power play goals to Tampa Bay and dropped the season opening game for the first time in 6 years.

The Carolina Hurricanes completed their summer of contract signings with arguably their most important return.  Seth Jarvis, the breakout star of 2024, signed an 8-year extension that will pay him $63.2 million over the life of the contract.  Even though the average number is $7.9 million, the deal will only count for just over $7.4 million against the cap.  I'll explain how, we'll discuss how the team approached the summer and the bad news on Jesper Fast.  

Martin Necas is back with the Canes.  He signed a 2-year deal worth $13 million.  Now what?  And, how does this impact negotiations with Seth Jarvis?  

Busy week for the Hurricanes.  Evgeny Kuznetsov is heading back to Russia.  Jack Drury agreed to a 2-year deal.  Negotiations continue with Seth Jarvis.  And what is the status of Jesper Fast?  All that and more in a very quick session.
