For four periods of play across two games, the Carolina Hurricanes showed their potential. Perhaps it was the insertion of Eddie Lack into the goal crease, or maybe the puck just bounced their way for a while, but they were a different team from the one that finished the game against the Calgary Flames yesterday.
Part of why Carolina fell yesterday is certainly due to the Johnny Gaudreau dynamic—the speedy forward certainly took over the game in the form of two goals and an assist after the early Canes goal—but they gave more than they took after what was a promising start.
