.RoryBoylen has your playoff outlook heading into Hockey Night in Canada Saturday.
Washington vs. CarolinaNo, not because of the storm surge — the Canes play on the road Saturday. We’re interested in how they respond to their worst loss of the season Friday night. The Hurricanes were listless and, dare we say, reminiscent of the team we’ve come to know over the past nine playoff-less seasons.
Tortorella decided to turn back to Bobrovsky for Saturday’s key showdown, but that choice comes with its own conerning trend. The Columbus netminder has lost 10 of his past 11 games versus the Penguins with a 3.38 GAA and .880 save percentage. Goaltending was not the problem in Thursday’s loss — that continues to be the dried-up offence.
