Hurricanes clinch Stanley Cup playoff berth, beat Buffalo, 5-3 in comeback effort

RALEIGH, N.C. — The Carolina Hurricanes are going back to the Stanley Cup playoffs for a fourth straight season.

The Canes, after failing to clinch a berth Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres, got another chance Thursday against the Sabres and rallied for a 5-3 victory at PNC Arena.

Sebastian Aho and Jordan Staal each had a pair of goals, Teuvo Teravainen scored and goalie Antti Raanta was unshakable late for the Canes (46-17-8), who reached 100 points for the second time in franchise history.
