Carolina Hurricanes

East Metropolitan · 2026–27 season

The story so far

Carolina fans opened the title defense stewing over a banner-night overtime loss to Florida, bad calls and an 0-2 start, with misery at 54. A winning surge and Kochetkov's 8-0 run turned that into spoiled euphoria, and at 12-2-2 they feel secure at the top.
