The Carolina Hurricanes flipped the script from their last game Monday night, overcoming a two-goal deficit to beat the Blackhawks in overtime. Sebastian Aho played hero in Cam Ward’s homecoming game, and the team’s power play continued its hot streak. Here are some key takeaways from the win.
Aggressive overtime
As head coach Rod Brind’Amour remarked on after the game, this overtime period was a polar opposite of the Canes’ most recent game against the Red Wings. In that game, the Red Wings dominated possession in OT, and the Canes needed a couple spectacular saves from Scott Darling to even make it to the shootout.
