Canes fall in Pittsburgh, 4-1, lose ground in division race
Release Date:
Former Hurricanes goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 39 shots as the Canes fell to the Penguins in Pittsburgh, 4-1. Dimitri Orlov scored Carolina's only goal in the 2nd period when his drive from above the left face off circle was deflected by a Penguins forward and beat Nedeljkovic to tie the game at 1. The loss, coupled with the Rangers win over the Flyers at Madison Square Garden saw the Hurricanes slip to 3 points behind New York with just 9 games left to play. Carolina hosts Detroit on Thursday at PNC Arena.
