The Hurricanes bounced back from Saturday’s 3-2 loss in fine fashion Sunday night, celebrating Petr Mrazek’s first start since Jan. 30 with a 1-0 shutout win.
The Hurricanes won a physical, “grindy” game thanks to Mrazek’s clean sheet, a big goal from Jordan Martinook and big performance on defense to set them up for a huge pair of games against the Florida Panthers ahead.
