The Carolina Hurricanes haven’t had the start to the 2023-24 season that they were hoping for, as they have a 4-4-0 record through their first eight games of the campaign.

The New England Patriots offense, aside from their surprising outing against the Buffalo Bills, has been one of the worst units in the NFL to start the 2023 season.
