RALEIGH, N.C. -- Cam Ward allowed an early goal when the puck stuck in his skate. With Arizona trying to force overtime, the Carolina goalie used his glove to prevent another one.
Jeff Skinner scored his second goal with 1:58 left, and the Hurricanes beat the Coyotes 6-5 on Thursday night despite giving up a weird goal with a puck lodged in Ward's skate.
"That first one was probably one of the weirdest goals I've ever seen," Skinner said. "You stick with it, though, and it paid off for us."
Skinner added an assist, and Valentin Zykov scored two goals, the second tying it at 5 with 10:14 remaining.
