Canes overwhelm Blue Jackets, continue preseason excellence

The 1972 Miami Dolphins. The 2015-16 Golden State Warriors. 2003-04 Arsenal. The 2022 (preseason) Carolina Hurricanes.

The utter dominance of the Canes’ preseason run continued at home Monday night, as Carolina beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 8-1 in an overwhelmingly one-sided affair.

Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Stefan Noesen, Derek Stepan, Brent Burns, Martin Necas and Brady Skjei all scored for the home team, with Necas and Stepan both scoring twice. The Canes went 2 for 4 on the power play and 1 for 1 on the penalty kill, as Carolina simply commanded every facet of the game.
