It was a game that was way too close for comfort in the end, but the Carolina Hurricanes shut it down to make it 5 straight victories for the hockey club. They not only take a massive lead over the New York Rangers who sit third in the division, but they push their lead at the top of the Eastern Conference to three points with a game in hand on the Florida Panthers.
This was a game in which the Hurricanes asked their Vezina candidate Frederik Andersen to stand on his head, and number 31 did everything the team needed him to.
