With a 4-2 win in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Carolina Hurricanes progress to 12-2 on the year and get their six-game road trip off to the perfect start. A strong first and third period saw the team push beyond the reach of the walking wounded Vegas Golden Knights, and move back to the top of the Metropolitan division.
With Carolina building on their win at home against St Louis, playing a team like Vegas that is absolutely consumed with injuries was just what the doctor ordered. The team gets to settle on the west coast with a win under their belt.
