The Carolina Hurricanes had an opportunity to build some momentum this evening. They didn’t do that. What they did do is secure a single point in the standings after falling in overtime.
The Edmonton Oilers were missing Connor McDavid (lower-body injury), James Neal (lower-body injury), and Zack Kassian (suspension) tonight, but Kailer Yamamoto, Leon Draisaitl, and Josh Archibald more than picked up the slack.
Tonight’s game was viewed by many Canes fans as the night the Carolina Hurricanes would most be able to build momentum with going forward; the Canes’ schedule isn’t the easiest in the world, and every point is precious from here on in.
