Everyone had Brendan Smith on their game-winning goal ticket, right?
Regardless, the Canes did get the 3-2 win over the St. Louis Blues, as Smith blasted a shot from the point late in the third period to secure the two points. Brady Skjei and Sebastian Aho also scored for the Hurricanes, as Carolina overcame giving up a lead in the third period for the second night in a row.
In net for the Hurricanes Saturday was Alex Lyon, who stopped 27 of 29 shots faced in his first appearance with the team. Lyon was strong all night and looked mostly calm and collected, doing what he needed to do to give the Canes a chance to win.
