Power rankings

It seems like every single player on the Hurricanes roster is playing with a chip on his shoulder — and it shows. After the Rantanen debacle, which seemed to stretch on for weeks, Carolina has been playing lights out hockey since the trade deadline. Rod Brind'Amour's club is one of the hottest teams in the National, racking off seven consecutive wins and eight of nine since February 27. Both Frederik Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov have been just superb as of late, and a couple of depth players in Jack Roslovic and new addition Mark Jankowski have stepped up in a big way. After a bit of an up-and-down campaign, the Hurricanes are looking like a wagon at the perfect time — and they're showing no signs of slowing down ahead of a California road trip that will take them through San Jose, Los Angeles and Anaheim later this week.
