Hurricanes swept by Penguins
The Carolina Hurricanes ran out of steam in the Eastern Conference Finals, getting swept by the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Hurricanes simply didn’t have the offensive firepower to keep up and compete with the explosive Penguins.
It also didn’t help that goaltender Cam Ward, who was really hot the first two rounds, cooled off considerably against Pittsburgh.
That said, a big part of the reason that he cooled off was the combination of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
