Despite jumping out to a two-goal lead, the Carolina Hurricanes couldn't come away with two points in the first game of their season-long five-game home stand. Jason Zucker scored his second goal of the night in overtime to top the Canes, 3-2.
Justin Faulk and Andrej Nestrasil scored in the first period, but Carolina couldn't find the net again and eventually fell in overtime to Minnesota, 3-2.
Three Observations
1. The Hurricanes’ only weapon on the power play remains Faulk. Fortunately, he's a fantastic weapon. Faulk’s sixth power play goal puts him atop the league in the category.
