The Carolina Hurricanes finally found a way to beat the New Jersey Devils.
After two tough losses to the Devils this season, the Canes won 3-1 on Friday at PNC Arena to stay in the chase for the second wild-card playoff spot in the NHL’s Eastern Conference.
Teuvo Teravainen’s goal at 9:37 of the third period pushed the Canes ahead 2-1 as Brett Pesce’s point shot nicked Teravainen in front of Devils goalie Keith Kinkaid — Teravainen’s 18th of the season. Justin Williams sealed it with a late empty-net goal, his third score in two games, and goalie Cam Ward earned his 19th win of the season.
