Hurricanes seek redmeption after embarrassing loss

Jan 2, 2007 - 4:15 PM Carolina (21-16-4) at Pittsburgh (16-15-6) 7:30 pm EST

PITTSBURGH (Ticker) -- The Carolina Hurricanes had a big win followed by a bad loss and will have to get back on track on the road.

On Friday, the Hurricanes downed the Anaheim Ducks, the club with the league's best record. On Sunday, they lost to the lowly Philadelphia Flyers, and should be in an angry mood when they visit the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday.

Ray Whitney scored both Carolina goals as the Stanley Cup champions lost, 5-2, to the Flyers on Sunday.

The Hurricanes fired 42 shots at Philadelphia goaltender Robert Esche but could only beat him twice. Carolina outshot the Flyers, 42-19.

The Penguins snapped a five-game losing streak with a 4-1 triumph over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday.

Sidney Crosby, whose 58 points leads the NHL, had three assists while defenseman Sergei Gonchar and rookie Evgeni Malkin each had a goal and an assist.
