The Carolina Hurricanes went on the road and picked up a 5-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres in their final game before the NHL All-Star break on Wednesday night.
A three-goal first period set the tone for a fairly dominant showing. An early Buffalo penalty set the table for the Hurricanes’ suddenly capable power play to go to work, and they continued to look very capable.
Teuvo Tervainen attempted to set up Andrei Svechnikov for a chance from the slot, but the puck went back to Teravainen, and he whipped the puck to Sebastian Aho at the back door to give the Hurricanes an early 1-0 lead on the road.
