As we all know the Carolina Hurricanes took a significant blow to their production offensively when Dougie Hamilton broke a bone in his leg pretty much ending his season. Hamilton was fourth on the Hurricanes in points, but first in terms of defenseman. Hamilton has 10 or more goals than any other defenseman on the roster.
How can Brett Pesce be the one to help boost the offensive output from the blue line?
Pesce is going to see even more time on ice due to the injury. He averages more than 21 minutes a game and has been on the ice for 24 or more minutes in three of the last four games.
