Thanks to a late game-winning goal from Sebastian Aho, the Carolina Hurricanes beat the San Jose Sharks 2-1 Friday night to move to 2-0 on the season.
In a fairly tightly contested game, it was the Canes who eventually came out on top after goals from Aho and Martin Necas late in the third and second periods, respectively. Evgeny Svechnikov scored the lone goal for San Jose late in the first period, as the Sharks couldn’t hold on to their early lead.
Both goaltenders were on their best games Friday night, as Antti Raanta and James Reimer took part in a great battle between the pipes.
