    "As the second round of the NHL playoffs continues, Carolina Hurricanes fans in postseason withdrawal need not avert their eyes. There are enough former Hurricanes and other figures of note still playing to make it interesting.

    Enough, in fact, to pursue Six Degrees of Playoff Separation:

    1. Players

    There are nine former Hurricanes sprinkled among the eight remaining playoff teams, although three are injured.

    Most prominent: Boston Bruins forward Mark Recchi, who at 42 is playing just as well as he did for the Hurricanes when he was 38.

    Least prominent: San Jose Sharks forward Dwight Helminen, who played 23 games for the Hurricanes in 2008-09.

    Of the mass exodus at the trade deadline, only one player who left Carolina is still active: Vancouver Canucks defenseman Andrew Alberts. (Niclas Wallin has played only one game for San Jose in the playoffs because of an undisclosed injury.)"
