Pittsburgh Penguins (10-3-3) @ Carolina Hurricanes (5-8-3) 7:00 pm/et TV: ROOT RBC Center, Raleigh, NC We still love that arena picture. The Pens head down to Raleigh today for the second of a back-to-back after having five days off. Isn't NHL scheduling the best? There should be a decent pro-Pens crowd in the RBC Center tonight including our very own Tony. Hopefully they get some good pictures. Eric Staal has five points and is a -16 in 16 games this year. See what knocking out your own brother does to your game? It looks like Eric is determined to regain his title as the best Staal in the NHL and he will stop at nothing in order to do so. Watch out Jordan! Season Series: 0-0-0 Last meeting that counted: February 25, 2011. Hurricanes won 4-1. What we said in our recap: Like we're recapping this. Know Your Enemy: Canes Country What they're saying: The New York Rangers busted open a close 1-1 game mid...

Hurricanes LW Jokinen to return vs. Rangers

Carolina Hurricanes left wing Jussi Jokinen apparently is a fast healer and will make his return to the lineup for Friday's game against the New York Rangers. Last week, Hurricanes general manager Jim Rutherford detailed that Jokinen would be sidelined three-to-four weeks with a leg injury. The assessment appeared to be on target, considering that the 28-year-old Finn appeared...

Hurricanes: Eric Staal's hit not sole reason for brother Marc's concussion

Brotherly Love? Eric Staal regrets hitting brother Marc

Carolina Hurricanes captain Eric Staal expressed regret for hitting - and ultimately concussing - his younger brother during a game last February.

Controversial hit hounds two of Staals

Staal entered the Hurricanes' game against the Penguins Saturday night at the RBC Center with three goals and two assists along with a league-worst plus-minus rating of minus-16, in 16 games.

RECAP: Don't Call It A Comeback. 'Cause It Wasn't. PENS LOSE.

The Pens were down 3-0 after two periods of play. It wasn't for lack of trying. Cam Ward let Malkin know this wasn't the 2009 Conference Finals. The Canes, meanwhile, were scratching goals onto the board. Jeff Skinner was everywhere. The Canes had lost 4 straight games, and three of those games saw the Canes have abysmal third periods that cost them wins. And it happened...

Game 17 Preview: Penguins at Hurricanes

Pittsburgh Penguins (10-3-3) at Carolina Hurricanes (5-8-3)RBC Center, 7 p.m.TV: FS-Carolinas, ROOT Sports Remember what I said yesterday about trying to be optimistic? The Canes are making it hard for me to do that. It's not just because they have lost five in a row and failed to score more than two goals in each of those games, but also the fact that injuries are piling on...

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Carolina Hurricanes – Game 17

That is what you witnessed if you watched the Penguins kick the crap out of the Stars last night.  It may not have been evident by the score, but that’s what happened. The Pens snapped Dallas’ four game win streak last night, and allowed just one goal.  The goal was actually a sort of strange [...]
