The Hurricanes picked up the last two triumphs in the current streak in a sweep of a home-and-home series with Florida. They earned an overtime win in Sunrise on Saturday before returning home for Tuesday's 4-2 win at the RBC Center.
On Tuesday, Cam Ward made 25 saves and Eric Staal recorded two assists as the Hurricanes downed Florida.
Justin Williams, Rod Brind'Amour, Scott Walker and Cory Stillman all tallied for the Hurricanes. Williams is in the midst of an eight-game point-scoring stretch and has seven goals and two assists during the tear.
Another win tonight would give Carolina its longest winning streak since posting nine consecutive W's from December 31-Janaury 19 of last season.
