Coach Paul Maurice considered Carolina's Friday loss to Washington as just "one of those games". The Hurricanes were not completely outplayed however they did not get any bounces to go their way. There was one key moment in the third period when a puck bounced over the stick of Brandon Sutter, who was set for a shorthanded breakaway. After that they Capitals opened the floodgates. On an power play for Carolina there was a quick whistle to end a scramble. Sometimes that is how it goes, which was bad news for the Hurricanes on Friday.
