The 2010–11 Carolina Hurricanes season was the 32nd season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 22, 1979,[1] and 14th season since the franchise relocated to North Carolina to start the 1997–98 NHL season.

The Hurricanes posted a regular season record of 40 wins, 31 losses and 11 overtime/shootout losses for 91 points, failing to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the second consecutive season.

Off-Season

On June 17, the Carolina Hurricanes announced that they will play seven games during the pre-season – six against NHL teams and one against SKA St. Petersburg of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).[2]

For their first-round selection, the Hurricanes selected Jeff Skinner at the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. The Hurricanes had eight selections in total at the Draft.

Regular season

The first face off of the season, Hurricanes at Wild in Helsinki, Finland.

The Carolina Hurricanes started their 2010–11 season (as well as the 2010–11 NHL season) with a two-game series in Helsinki, Finland, against the Minnesota Wild. The Hurricanes swept the Wild in the two-game series, with 18-year-old rookie Jeff Skinner scoring the sole shootout goal to win the second game for the Hurricanes.

After Helsinki, the Hurricanes embarked on a five-game, nine-day road trip starting in Ottawa and ending in Phoenix on October 23. The Hurricanes arrived in Raleigh with a 4–3–0 record before their home opener against the Washington Capitals.[3]

Before the October 30 game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, General Manager Jim Rutherford announced that Jeff Skinner would stay with Carolina Hurricanes for the remainder of 2010–11 season.[4]

On November 17, Rutherford announced that defenseman Anton Babchuk and right wing Tom Kostopoulos would be traded to the Calgary Flames for defenseman Ian White and center Brett Sutter in an effort to "stabilize" the Canes' defense following two lopsided losses to the Montreal Canadiens and the Philadelphia Flyers.[5]

The Hurricanes claimed right wing Troy Bodie on waivers and traded for center Ryan Carter – both from the Anaheim Ducks – on November 16 and 23, respectively.[6][7] Bodie and Carter, along with Jiri Tlusty, are expected to bring more physicality to the Hurricanes' fourth line.[8]

The Hurricanes concluded the regular season with the most power-play opportunities in the League, with 346.[9]
