The Hurricanes took a 3-0 lead into the 3rd period against Winnipeg Saturday afternoon, but one bad goal allowed by Pyotr Kochetkov was enough to rattle him and the group couldn’t protect him enough in a 5-3 loss to the Jets. Martin Necas, Teuvo Teravainen and Sebastian Aho each scored in the second half of the second period to give the Canes a 3-0 lead heading to the 3rd, but Kyle Connor’s quick shot from just inside the blue line caught Pyotr Kochetkov by surprise 96 seconds into the period and that was enough to unnerve the Canes rookie goalie. Four minutes later the game was tied and Carolina would fall, 5-3, as Winnipeg completes the season sweep.

Truly a frustrating loss.
Kotkaniemi buyout (from Capfriendly): Total Cost $10,020,000. Total Savings: $20,040,000. Annual Cost: $835,000. Why Dundon wouldn't want to save $20M is beyond me.
I was comfortable at 3-0 and watched a movie with my wife. So glad I didn’t waste my time going to/watching that
Thanks Adam for talking us back off the ledge.😉
good example of how good the jets are not a reflection of how bad we are, that is just a damn good team they got. you gotta be ready to roll 100%
You can't really deny that carolina does have a holding a lead issue though.
Carolina like close games, whether they hold a close game against the panthers or blue jackets.
Can carolina perform and are they a good team? Yes. Something needs to be done about them not holding leads though. I didn't have access to the game, but it sounded like a whole team issue for this loss.
Just doesn't seem like carolina is coming at teams with all their effort right now.
I do agree with you though, that I don't think it is so much a roster issue, maybe it's just a morale issue, but as a team if things start going the wrong way they need to fight to keep the lead. A 2-3 carolina would be playing, a 3-2 carolina is much more likely to let a goal in.
Necas and Jarvis have got to stay. Bring in Morrow and resign Chatty. Fast needs to go.
