The Carolina Hurricanes suffered their first regular season loss of the 2016-17 campaign last night at the hands of the Edmonton Oilers.
The ‘Canes fell behind early and failed to get back into the hockey game until the third period, a reversal of how games one and two went in Winnipeg and Vancouver. Ultimately, Carolina’s third period surge of life wasn't enough as they fell to the Oilers by a final score of 3-2.
There’s a lot to get into here, so let’s talk about last night.
What most people will remember from Tuesday night's game is the weak performance in the early going from Cam Ward.
