There hasn’t been much to smile about since the Carolina Hurricanes’ Stanley Cup win during the 2005-06 season. The franchise has made only one playoff appearance since that campaign (2008-09), and are running on a streak six straight seasons of missing the postseason.
To go along with the streak of postseason absences, the Hurricanes took a step in the wrong direction last season, going from 36 wins in 2013-14 to 30 wins. Head coach Bill Peters is about to begin the second year of his tenure, a year the franchise is looking for a positive stepping-stone for future seasons.
Along with cornerstone Eric Staal and Justin Faulk, the Hurricanes brought in Kris Versteeg with some championship experience, as well as James Wisniewski, and drafted Noah Hanifin fifth overall in this past year’s NHL Draft as someone who will have an impact on the team sooner rather than later. When the goalie competition between Cam Ward and Eddie Lack is settled, Carolina will have a better overall feel for what they’re rolling with as the season opener approaches.
With their season debut against the Nashville Predators looming on October 8, below is a secondary market look at Carolina Hurricanes tickets, with information provided by SeatSmart.com.
