In what was obviously the most exciting matchup that happened in the sports world Sunday, the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the San Jose Sharks 2-1 in regulation at PNC Arena thanks to some late-game heroics by Andrei Svechnikov.
It wasn’t the prettiest game by any means — which has been the case for a few in a row now — but the effort was there from the Canes’ skaters, however yet another strong goaltending performance was the key to boosting the team to a fourth straight win.
The Hurricanes haven’t had their mojo for a few games now, but maybe the All-Star Break will be just the thing the team needs to reset and refocus for the second half of the season.
