Last night is why Carolina traded for Taylor Hall.

The Hurricanes will not skate or hold media availability on Wednesday. The team is next scheduled to practice on Thursday at 11 a.m. at Lenovo Center.
Eric Tulsky: “We had agreed with his agents to keep the options open for Alex to potentially play a game in Chicago at some point. But with their season now over, it makes sense to officially register an NHL contract for him, and we are excited for his future with the team.”

The #Canes have officially registered an NHL contract for defenseman Alexander Nikishin, making him eligible to play in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Hurricanes will not practice on Wednesday.
Watching the OTs last night reminded me to check on one of my favorite playoff stats:
Former Canes defenseman Niclas Wallin still ranks tied for first in the NHL history in career playoff OT goals by a defenseman with three (Ken Morrow and Brent Seabrook also had three).
“I love playing in the big games. Meaningful hockey. I’m motivated to try to contribute in any way possible.”

Underrated aspect of the @Canes playoff streak is how the hockey department has continued to add talent. Players under 24: Seth Jarvis (13th overall), Jackson Blake (109th), Logan Stankoven (trade), Scott Morrow (40th), Bradly Nadeau (30th) , Alexander Nikishin (69th).

Just a reminder that with the second and third round picks that the Hurricanes acquired in the Jeff Skinner trade to Buffalo, they selected Pyotr Kochetkov and Alexander Nikishin.

One of the top prospects in hockey is officially coming to Raleigh
www.nhl.com/hurricanes/n...
Two franchises have allowed more goals to Alex Ovechkin than Carolina's 51 in 91 games:
* Atlanta/Winnipeg (57 in 75 games)
* Philadelphia (52 in 78 games)
Tampa has also allowed 51
(5/5)
Other Ovechkin highlights (well, maybe not so much for us) vs. Carolina:
* Scored his 400th career goal against Carolina, on 12/20/13 (ENG)
* Scored a hat trick against the Canes on 12/14/18 vs. Scott Darling
* Scored two OT goals: 3/15/16 vs. Eddie Lack and 1/2/18 vs. Cam Ward
(4/5)
Ward's 41 games against Ovechkin are the third-most of any NHL goaltender. Ward allowed the fifth-most career goals to Ovechkin, and is surrounded by some pretty decent company on that list. (3/5)
