The Carolina Hurricanes did not quite flush the previous night’s performance like they wanted as they came out too loose against the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday night. They fell behind 3-0 in the first period, caught up within a goal at 4-3 in the third, but then lost by a final score of 6-3 to an energized Ducks who were playing their home opener in front of nearly a full house.
Antti Raanta took the loss and looked a bit rusty early but then made some nice saves later in the game. Overall, he allowed four goals on 23 shots.
