On Thursday night at the PNC Arena, fans were entertained by two very good hockey teams giving 100% for the entire game.
Both teams were attacking, both were defending, and both were mixing it up with physicality. There was no standing around in this game.
The home team eventually came out on top when Sebastian Aho buried a shot with 18 seconds left as the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Florida Panthers, 1-0.
Both teams had a few “grade A” chances where they either hit the post or were stymied by the opposition’s goalie.
Florida thought they had scored to take the lead but a replay showed that the play was easily offsides and the goal was taken off the board.
