| Carolina spent all but 15 days leading the Southeast Division this season. Too bad the last one was among them. |
| 03/31/2008 | 7 | 6 |
| Goalie Cam Ward has answered all the questions about him with his play in 17 consecutive starts. |
| 03/24/2008 | 6 | 12 |
| They're still hurting but a favorable schedule has the 'Canes set to wrap up the Southeast Division title. |
| 03/17/2008 | 12 | 14 |
| While Carolina suffered another blow with the loss of Ray Whitney, Eric Staal continues to carry the load. He has seven goals and 18 assists in his past 15 games. |
| 03/10/2008 | 14 | 14 |
| Obviously there’s a lot more character here than people realize because the Hurricanes have stepped it up since captain Rod Brind’Amour went down and they refuse to let anyone catch them in the Southeast. Puck moving defenseman Joe Corvo has been a great addition with 11 points in 12 games. |
| 03/03/2008 | 14 | 18 |
| Gutsy effort these days by the Hurricanes, who have gone 7-2-1 and widened their lead in the Southeast Division since Rod Brind'Amour's injury. |
| 02/25/2008 | 18 | 18 |
| Eric Staal has stepped up his game since Rod Brind'Amour went down with 10 points in the past six games. Carolina has been very good at home too, winning six of its past seven there. |
| 02/18/2008 | 18 | 20 |
| The 'Canes shook things up by trading Stanley Cup vets Stillman and Commodore, and then captain Rod Brind'Amour went down, but they are clinging to the division lead with some gutsy efforts. |
| 02/11/2008 | 20 | 20 |
| Rod Brind'Amour's next goal will make Carolina the only team in the NHL with four 20-goal men, but the offense isn't doing much for the Hurricanes, who have been hurt too often by weak goaltending. |
| 02/04/2008 | 20 | 21 |
| None of the Hurricanes' goalies has managed to climb over the .900 mark in save percentage, which is one reason the team can't get on a roll.
