What goes around, sure enough, comes around. The Hurricanes, so very anxious to send a roughhouse message at the end of Game 3, were severely punished in Game 4 for some foolish, aggressive behavior.

Blues coach Craig Berube said there is "no room" anywhere for the racist comments and threats directed toward Colorado's Nazem Kadri and that they are "in no way acceptable."

Joe Thornton, who just completed his 24th season in the NHL and first with the Panthers, says he has not decided whether to retire or continue playing.

The Flames came tantalizingly close to evening their series with the Oilers, with their performance in Tuesday night's Game 4 loss giving them hope even though they now face elimination.

Carolina veteran goaltender Antti Raanta and the Hurricanes were again skittish away from home on Tuesday night, dropping a 4-1 decision to the Rangers in New York, a result that evened this second-round series at 2-2.
