Another season, another home opener win for the Carolina Hurricanes who easily handled the Columbus Blue Jackets in a 4-1 victory Wednesday night at PNC Arena.
It wasn’t the prettiest win by any stretch of the imagination, but once the Hurricanes found their game midway through the second period, it was smooth sailing to the end.
“It wasn’t a great start for sure,” said Rod Brind’Amour. “I thought Columbus had the better of the play in the first period. Kind of expected that to be quite honest because we hadn’t played in a long time and we had a few guys who hadn’t played in a really long time.
