Regular Season 1/11-1/17
Summary:
A couple days late, but still here; it’s time for another weekly wrap-up for the Carolina Hurricanes. The week started very strong, seeing the Hurricanes vault into a wild card spot. Yes, that really happened. However, a sour tasting thrashing at the hands of the Penguins on Sunday tempered the excitement. Here’s how it all played out.
This past week’s games began and started with the Penguins. In the first go around, the Hurricanes outplayed their divisional rivals and got good fortune because of it. In what was probably Eric Staal’s best game of the year, the ‘Canes top line scored all three goals for the road team.
