In re-watching, Thursday’s game against the Flyers, how the Carolina Hurricanes’ offense did not put up more biscuits in the basket was a Christmas Hockey Miracle. Santa’s elves must have been Flyers fans because that game could have been out of hand early.
In the first period alone, the Canes outshot the Flyers 14 to 9 and nearly all of those shots had some serious frosting on them. Andrei Svechnikov and Sebastian Aho all had grade-A shots in that period alone. Martin Necas did get in a beauty on the power play that was stoppable by the back of the net.
