What a performance, what a game. This was a very impressive display by the Carolina Hurricanes to emerge victorious from this game. 8 players were out of the lineup, eight regulars were just gone. Yet nothing changes, churning out another result to add two points to the win column. Carolina only iced 16 skaters, and two of them hadn’t played in forever. Didn’t matter.
Carolina played this game in as dominant a fashion as we have seen when they take to the ice at PNC Arena and it was a beautiful sight for the team. There was never a moment in this game where it looked like the Red Wings were going to expose the lack of NHL experience or lack of skaters.
