Eric Tulsky Puts Hurricanes' Playoff Losses Into Perspective
Everything has to be put into perspective, especially when it comes to the Carolina Hurricanes. Through the majority of the 2010s, the Hurricanes were a losing franchise as the playoffs were just a pipe dream. Carolina missed the postseason from 2010 to 2018. However, after the head coaching hire of Rod Brind'Amour in 2018, everything changed for the Hurricanes. Since Brind'Amour took over, the Hurricanes have made the playoffs every season and are now perennial Stanley Cup contenders. However, the expectations have risen from what they once were, and after multiple playoff losses, the pressure is very much prevalent. Hurricanes general manager Eric Tulsky still feels, despite it all, that his team remains in a good position. Andrei Svechnikov Details Heartbreaking Playoff Loss And Gives Opinions About Hurricanes' Offseason Moves The Carolina Hurricanes failed to face their demons in the 2025 NHL Playoffs as they lost to the Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference Final. "We have raised the bar year after year after year, and it is a really good thing to be in a place where being one of the final four teams can be viewed as a disappointment," said Tulsky. "Obviously, I'd rather get past that, but I'd much rather be here than in a place where it's viewed as exciting if we make the playoffs and go out in round one." Now, with the additions of Nikolaj Ehlers and K'Andre Miller, expectations have risen to even higher heights.

The Slash That Cody Glass Will Never Let Jacob Markstrom Forget
Just under three months ago, the New Jersey Devils were down 3–1 to the Carolina Hurricanes when goaltender Jacob Markstrom, frustrated, appeared to take a swing with his stick at the player in front of his net. But he missed who he appeared to be going for, Hurricanes forward Andrei Svechnikov, and instead slashed his teammate, Cody Glass. To this day, Glass hasn't let Markstrom forget it.

'You Want It To Be Hard': Andrei Svechnikov Remaining Positive Despite Pressure Of Moment
It's no secret that this has been a tough series for Andrei Svechnikov. After a disappointing regular season, the talented winger came out with a purpose in the postseason and was a true difference maker through two series. Svechnikov had eight goals in 10 games (one behind Mikko Rantanen for the most through two rounds of the playoffs), three of which were game-winners, and of those, one was a series winner. He was a constant scoring threat whenever he was on the ice through the first two rounds and looked to be the player everyone has counted on him to be. While the 25-year-old has been a consistent playoff performer, there always seems to be a wall for him and right now, Florida is that wall. In three games, Svechnikov has just one assist and he's only gotten a single shot on net. He also essentially sealed the Game 2 loss on his own, with a trio of mistakes that all led to immediate goals against. "Of course you put pressure, on yourself, but you also have to try and stay positive," Svechnikov said Monday morning. "I know it hasn't gone our way, but I'm trying to work out there. You make mistakes, but it's not that I'm not trying to do the right things and try to get shots and all that stuff. I know I'm trying, it just hasn't happened." One thing that Svechnikov has always been good at though is staying positive through difficult times. It'd be easy to be down and discouraged in a moment like this: down 3-0, getting heavily outplayed, outscored, but the Russian is trying to keep up those good vibes not only for himself, but for his team too. "Yeah, obviously. I hate this time right now, but today's a new day," Svechnikov said. "Only good vibes right now and trying to think positively. Just try to go out there and have the best game you can. "We're just going to go out there and not even think about being down 3-0. Just try to stay positive and try to play our game. The first two periods, we were so close and then the third period was just a hard period for us, but for two periods we were close. Just have to go day by day and see what will happen." Hurricanes Turning Back To Number One Netminder For Game 4 The Carolina Hurricanes will be turning back to their number one goaltender tonight as they look to stave off elimination at the hands of the Florida Panthers. The Stanley Cup Playoffs aren't ever easy. It's a grueling two-month, four-round journey that only one team comes out in the end of. There's plenty of good teams and good players that never make it even close to the summit. "You want it to be hard otherwise it's not the Stanley Cup," Svechnikov said. But for the Carolina Hurricanes, the climb has been seven years in the making and they're still no closer than they were when they started it. Many say that you have to lose before you can learn how to win, but how many more years of lessons does Carolina need? "To be honest, we've been losing for seven years," Svechnikov said. "It's kind of frustrating, but to win it takes everything. It's going to be so hard. It's always going to be hard. We know it and we've been here for seven years. It doesn't get easier. Every year I actually feel like it gets harder and harder." The Hurricanes are staring down the barrel. They know that the odds are against them, but they also know that these opportunities don't come often. All they can do is as Svechnikov said: Go out there and try to play your best game. "We know it's our last step," Svechnikov said. "We're standing in a corner right now and we just have to get out from there and that's what we're going to try to do."

Count On Svechnikov, Aho Powering Hurricanes To Game 4 Win Over Panthers
Carolina Hurricanes aim to avoid series sweep, snap 15-game losing streak versus Florida Panthers in Game 4 Monday The Florida Panthers are on the cusp of being in the Stanley Cup Finals for the third straight season and making it six straight years that a team from the state of Florida has made the Finals. It's a legendary run we are witnessing as this team could be a potential dynasty but the Carolina Hurricanes aren't out just yet. They currently sit down 3-0 in the series with a win on Monday being needed to prolong the series. It's been a slugfest where the Panthers have done what they do best with smothering the Canes and they haven't been able to respond. Carolina will need to bring their best effort yet to avoid a gruesome 15-game losing streak in the Conference Finals continuing. It'll be their strongest push yet and should make for must-see tv in a big game on Monday. All betting lines are from FanDuel Sportsbook and are subject to change. Hockey is a difficult sport to predict so please gamble responsibly. More NHL: Maple Leafs' Mitch Marner Next Team Betting Odds Revealed Over 5.5 goals (-104) Hurricanes ML (+146) Andrei Svechnikov Over 0.5 points (-111) Sebastian Aho Over 0.5 points (-154) The losing streak has to be snapped as the Hurricanes are long overdue for a win during the Conference Finals and should finally get it with their backs against the wall. I do expect it to come with plenty of goals and the Cats have done everything they can to exploit the Carolina goaltenders with 16 goals through three games on Fredrick Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov. There will be goals in this one because Carolina will need them if they want to win as it's been a very slow series for everyone on the team except for Seth Jarvis, who is the only player on the roster averaging a point-per-game in this series. More NHL: To Touch or Not to Touch: Betting On If the Prince of Wales Trophy Tradition Will Carry On Hurricanes winger Andrei Svechnikov was near the league-lead in playoff goals but has since gone three games without a goal along with star centre Sebastian Aho, who has just one goal in the series and has only two multi-point games in the postseason. These two need to have big games if their team wants a chance to win especially Aho, who is expected to lead this team after recording 74 points on 79 games this season. He needs to take over a game and help lift his team in a big way. Aho and Svechnikov play on different lines which means they likely need one goal from each unit for them to get on the board. They play the most and third-most forward minutes on the team respectively and need to show for it. More NHL: Veterans First: NHL Insiders Pick Players Who Deserve Cup First From Each Contender
