ROAD WARRIORS
Wednesday’s loss at VGK (3/1) ended Carolina’s six-game road point streak and five-game road win streak (1/12-2/14), which was tied for the longest road win streak in team history (since relocation). Despite the loss, the Hurricanes have earned a point in 18 of their last 20 road games (11/14-3/1: 13-2-5, .775), and their .813 road points percentage since 11/29 (12-2-2) trails only BOS (17-3-2, .818) for the league lead over that span.
