Last night’s matchup was a roller coast, to say the least. The Carolina Hurricanes took an early 3-goal lead in the first period, then allowed the Edmonton Oilers to battle back to tie the game with three unanswered goals of their own.
The Carolina Hurricanes then scored another three unanswered goals in return to pull ahead 6-3, and eventually won the game by that margin.
Aside from the first half of the third period, the Carolina Hurricanes never looked like they were going to lose last night. From the commanding lead gained over the course of the first period, to the second half of the third period in which Jordan Martinook kicked off another trio of goals, the Carolina Hurricanes managed to hit most of our keys to the game mentioned before yesterday’s tilt.
