Rangers clinch playoff spot, Tlusty with another two goal night.

After tonight, no hockey in this building for the next five months. Let's go out in style, shall we? Come talk Rangers/Canes in our open game thread.

The Carolina Hurricanes close out their home schedule Thursday, hosting the New York Rangers at PNC Arena. The Canes, already eliminated from postseason contention, will be looking to derail the Blueshirts in their effort to clinch a playoff spot.

It Can Only be Jared? Why did the Hurricanes Re-call Jared Staal?

For the first time since mid-March, the Carolina Hurricanes have a winning streak. The Islanders notched a late goal to send the game to overtime, but Riley Nash and Jeff Skinner scored in the shootout to give Carolina the win.

In their penultimate home game of the season, the Canes did something they hadn't done all season: they won a shootout, defeating the New York Islanders 4-3 on Tuesday night.

It's the last week of the season: perfect timing for the Islanders to make their first trip to Raleigh this year. Come chat, vent, commiserate, add non-sequiturs, make everyone laugh...hey, anything goes in the open game thread.

Islanders need a win tonight at the PNC tonight
