The Carolina Hurricanes beat the Colorado Avalanche, 5-2 in a wild and weird game at the PNC Arena on Thursday night.
There were a total of 15 penalties called in the contest and it was hard for either team to generate any fluidity.
Martin Necas didn’t have any issues with the game though as he scored his first career hat trick in the first period. It was a “natural” hat trick as those were the first three goals of the game.
The Avs were not fazed and they scored two goals in the last 30 seconds to close out the first period.
