Another win for the Carolina Hurricanes! They travel to Nashville, Tennessee, and win against the Predators in Smashville! A big start to this 2021-22 campaign as they improve to 2-0-0 on the season. A big win in a hostile environment makes this a little more impressive. It was a big result for a team that’s desperate to start this season off on the right foot.
With that in mind, this performance was far from ideal. Carolina took the lead early, but a poor giveaway would get the crowd in Nashville bouncing. Errors came out from the Canes in this game, and they would have been fatal against a team with a little more attacking talent.
