The Hurricanes are finally getting the goals that have eluded them for years, but head coach Rod Brind'Amour believes the biggest difference this year has been stability in net. That and more in RoryBoylen's latest Stanley Cup Playoff Push:
The Hurricanes have a key game Tuesday at home against Pittsburgh, who is also getting strong play from goaltender Matt Murray of late and really turning a corner as a team. Carolina has two games in hand of the Pens and sit just three points back of them for third in the Metro.There was only one Eastern Conference team in action Monday night and the Tampa Bay Lightning put it to good use.

An already weak part of the roster was left exposed and, even worse, Frederik Andersen started to go through his own March struggles that looks a lot like last season, when he had an .885 save percentage in the month. Andersen has allowed 14 goals in his past three starts and been pulled in two of them. Winnipeg vs.
The Flames are a mediocre 5-5-0 in their past 10, though, and questions about their goaltending have started to creep in.is no longer the rock he was when he took over the top job in October, posting an .889 save percentage and 3.12 GAA since Feb. 1. It’s still his net, with Smith playing one half of back-to-backs more often than not, but there’s more worry there than before.
