It was a battle between two of the NHL’s best in Anaheim Thursday night, as the 12-2-0 Carolina Hurricanes took to the ice against the Ducks, who entered on an eight-game win streak.
Something had to give, and it came in the third period in the form of Canes’ rookie Seth Jarvis, who netted his second straight game-winning goal to snap Anaheim’s win streak and move the Hurricanes to 2-0 on the westward road trip with a 2-1 victory.
The game before the Jarvis winner was a battle, a physical affair that looked exactly like a game between two very good teams.
