If there were any concerns about how the Carolina Hurricanes were going to match up against the New Jersey Devils’ speed, the first 10 minutes of Game 1 Wednesday night put those fears to rest.
The Hurricanes dominated the Devils, giving them no space nor time to work with and took the first game of the series with ease.
It was the complete package for Carolina as the game featured five different Hurricanes goal scorers, a chased netminder, big hits and stifling defense on top of a stellar performance by Frederik Andersen who was getting his second straight start.
