Command Analysis
Carolina Hurricanes
USACarolina are in the Top-4 in the Eastern Conference table with a total of 31 points. The team had an excellent winning streak at the start of the season, but recently they suffered a dip in form.

In the last 4 bouts out of 5, the Hurricanes couldn't score more than 2 goals, which is unusual - they average 3 goals per game.
