Carolina Hurricanes Snap Losing Streak with Overtime Victory Against Seattle Kraken, Prepare for San Jose Sharks Matchup
With a grim 0-6-1 start, the Sharks attempt to break their seven-game losing streak while Hurricanes confidence builds after snapping their own three-game skid, especially with star winger Andrei Svechnikov's upcoming season debut after his ACL tear recovery.
- The Carolina Hurricanes broke their three-game losing streak with an overtime win against the Seattle Kraken, during which Martin Necas scored both his second goal of the game and his fourth of the season with just 9.7 seconds left in overtime.
