In a game that did not follow the Carolina Hurricanes’ normal script — they were outshot 36-30 and were dominated in the faceoff dot 58.6% to 41.4% — the team still managed to outpace the Washington Capitals and hold off their Metro rival to take a 3-2 win Tuesday night at Capital One Arena.
In front of many of their Dad’s and Mentors who made the trip with the team, the Canes got back into the win column.
Good Enough
The Hurricanes were by no means the best they’ve been, but they were good enough to win with the Capitals missing a few key players, namely Alex Ovechkin, John Carlson and Tom Wilson.
