RALEIGH, N.C. — Two well-publicized Carolina Hurricanes streaks continued Friday, with the team picking up its franchise-record 10th consecutive win while earning a point in a franchise-record 16th consecutive game.
Perhaps equally impressive, though, is a streak not many people would have seen coming just a couple of weeks ago: Canes starter Antti Raanta extended his streak of minutes played without allowing a goal to 127:32, helping Carolina shut down the Florida Panthers in a 4-0 win at PNC Arena.
Raanta’s stretch of scoreless hockey began with 7:32 to play in last week’s game against the Philadelphia Flyers, after he allowed a pair of short-handed goals in a 6-5 win. His next outing, on the flipside of the Christmas break, was a 3-0 shutout win over Chicago on Tuesday.
