Carolina Hurricanes Three Stars of the Week: Jeff Skinner Continues to Tear Up the NHL

The Carolina Hurricanes fell victim to defensive miscues and spotty goaltending over the past week, leading to a sub .500 record in the process.

Despite going 1-2-0, over the past week, it definitely wasn’t all bad. We are seeing this team do a lot of great things, including scoring a lot of goals and succeeding in the special teams department.

A few players have led the way over the past week, so let’s take a look at some of those guys.
