The red-hot Carolina Hurricanes faced a tough challenge on Sunday afternoon. They had to take down a Stanley Cup-contending Nashville Predators team in an early time slot, where the Canes have struggled in recent seasons.
At least it was anticipated to be a tough challenge...
Behind a three-goal, four-point effort from Sebastian Aho, the Hurricanes took care of the Predators with relative ease en route to a 6-3 victory.
The matinee started with some fireworks, when Micheal Ferland dropped the gloves with Predators’ forward Austin Watson and laid a couple of haymakers.
