The Carolina Hurricanes, in their own words, “stunk” Thursday night against the Blue Jackets, but did a great job Saturday afternoon to not let that turn into a losing streak with a comprehensive 4-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks.
Carolina got verifiable snipes from Sebastian Aho, Vincent Trocheck and Martin Necas, with Steven Lorentz adding a well-earned cheeky redirection to make it 4-1 in the third period.
The Canes looked strong and physical from the very start, something that hasn’t necessarily been the case to open up 2022, and rode that to an important win over the Canucks.
