The Carolina Hurricanes moved to 2-0 for the preseason with a 5-2 win over the Florida Panthers Thursday night, and this time it was the Canes’ prospects and depth players making up the roster.
The Canes got goals from Stefan Noesen, Derek Stepan, Justin Robidas, Vasiliy Ponomarev and Jack Drury, as a roster of mostly non-NHL players and guys fighting for an NHL spot beat an NHL-heavy Panthers roster.
Antti Raanta started in net for the Canes and made 20 saves while allowing one goal over two periods of play. Zach Sawchenko played the third period, allowing one goal while making 8 saves.
