The Carolina Hurricanes put an end to their two-game skid with a 4-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues at Scottrade Center last night.
A quick start from Carolina, featuring a nice goal from Derek Ryan at the 69-second mark of period one, gave the road team an early edge, but a pair of St. Louis goals in the opening half of period two flipped the script for the Hurricanes.
A well-placed one-time rocket from Jay McClement (yes, that actually happened) tied the game 11:02 into the second period, then a tight-checking third period opened up with a timely powerplay goal from Jeff Skinner with 6:08 to go and then Ryan netted his second goal of the game and iced the game with an empty-netter.
