About Tuesday Night

The Canes were unable to erase a two-goal deficit on Tuesday night in a
2-1 loss to the Blackhawks
. The Canes came up empty-handed after a dominant first period, and Chicago pounced with two goals early in the second. Andrei Svechnikov netted his 10th goal of the season to get the Canes on the board later in the period, but the Canes couldn't find the equalizer in the third.

"It was very, very frustrating. It's tough in the NHL to come back when you give teams goals," head coach Rod Brind'Amour said. "It's not like we played a poor game. We just had a couple hiccups there that cost us."

Numbers to Know

7: It's not a true seven-game point streak since he missed games due to injury, but with an assist on Svechnikov's goal on Tuesday night, Vincent Trocheck has registered at least a point in each of his last seven games played (4g, 5a). He's a point-per-game player on the season with 25 points (13g, 12a) in as many games.
1.81: The Canes are set to play 16 games over a 29-day stretch in April, which equates to one game every 1.81 days, this after playing 14 games (10-2-2) in 30 days in March.
