Early starts have been imperative for the Carolina Hurricanes in their four game win streak, but both those early starts and the win streak itself came to a close last night at the hands of the St. Louis Blues.

Kyle Brodziak tallied the first goal on a pass from Alexander Steen behind the goal line. Broadziak was wide open in the slot due to missed coverage, a lack of communication, and focus.
