Carolina’s former division rival to the south suffered a 4-2 defeat at the hands of the Carolina Hurricanes who earned this win in a hard-fought fashion. As the Canes dominated the on-ice proceedings, it was a hit that a lot of fans are coming out of this game discussing and the five-minute major that was awarded on the play, as well as the $5,000 fine for kneeing that accompanied it.
Obviously, we will get to that, but as for now, we have a lot of good to talk about as the Canes are now trying to chase down the Washington Capitals and New York Rangers who are ahead of them in the Metropolitan Division standings.
