The Carolina Hurricanes saw their seven-game home winning streak end on Friday with a 4-3 shootout loss to the Washington Capitals. Cam Ward, who made 23 saves, is expected to start in goal against the Sabres. "There's ways of making it easier on ourselves," center Jordan Staal said. "I don't think we did a terrible job. We hit a few posts in the third. We were moving our feet and still making plays. The rest is what it is." The Hurricanes are 4-5-3 in their past 12 games and continue a four-game homestand.
