Canes stay winless on road, shut out at Dallas

By Bud L. Ellis

Their recent run of success didn’t last long for the Carolina Hurricanes.

Having won two straight games entering Monday night’s contest at Dallas, the Hurricanes were shut out by Marty Turco and the Stars, falling 2-0.

Manny Legace made 27 saves for Carolina, but the two goals he allowed was enough to keep the Canes winless on the road this season (0-8-3).

It looked like Carolina had slipped one past Turco in the second period. But the officials ruled Ray Whitney kicked the puck onto his stick, and four minutes later Dallas scored off a deflection to double its lead to 2-0.

In the third, Carolina had a golden chance to halve the lead, spending more than 90 seconds with a two-man advantage. But the Hurricanes were turned away time and time again by Turco.

Carolina continues its Westward swing Wednesday at Anaheim.
