Let’s take a second and take a deep breath. The Canes not only won on Monday night, but certainly rose to the occasion. A thumping of Ottawa, 8-2, where almost everyone got a point was what the boys needed. The Canes got their swagger back, and look to keep rolling tonight.
Buffalo will be a much different story than Ottawa, though, in terms of competition. On the Road, and the Sabres are big upset. The Sabres sit in the same spot we did just days ago: started off super hot and are on a bad losing skid. The Canes do not want to be on the opposite end of the 8-2 stick because Buffalo will be trying to do what the Canes did Monday night.
