Canes strike down Lightning in chippy affair

The Carolina Hurricanes needed it and they got it Tuesday night in PNC Arena, beating Tampa Bay 3-2 to end a four-game skid and get back in the win column.

The big story for the Hurricanes was the power play, which scored not one but two goals, the first tallies on the man advantage in seven games. Martin Necas had the first one, scoring just his second goal in his last 26 games, while Tony DeAngelo added the second, his first goal since returning from injury.

Sebastian Aho had the third goal for the Canes, giving Carolina a two-goal lead near the midway point of the third period.
