CANES WIN! In a back and forth attacking game that no one saw coming, the Carolina Hurricanes double up the New York Islanders 6-3. It’s a great day for the Caniacs as their 100% win record right now means that they are going 82-0-0 and no one is allowed to argue it. This is the best team ever assembled and no one is allowed to disagree.
In all seriousness, this is a statement win when the team needed it most. Starting the season at home against probably your direct competition for the division title? It was as close to a must-win first game of the season as you will ever find and the Canes managed to get that done.
