The Canes weren’t going to let a 2:30 am arrival back in Raleigh slow them down against their Western conference visitors. On Star Wars Night at the PNC Arena they channeled their inner-Jedi and came out with a force that had the Sharks on their heels from the first puck drop.
All four of their offensive lines contributed on the scoring and they had a strong night in both ends of the ice. The young defensive corps played tremendously in their own zone, helped the offense with good puck movement in transition, and showed that they will only get better when Justin Faulk gets healthy.
