The Carolina Hurricanes’ power play, in an intentionally small sample size, has been making the best of the man advantage. With two goals in two games, these goals have been crucial in keeping the Canes in games. While Carolina won both, they had to battle for 60 minutes in both games.
Going into the third period tied at one against San Jose, the Hurricanes would need an extra man goal just to tie.
Unlike San Jose, the Canes would not need their power-play goal as much but made beating Boston 4-1 much more comfortable.
In their 5-4, OT win against the San Jose Sharks the power play was one for two but Sebastian Aho’s goal early in the third period put the Hurricanes on top of the Sharks at 19:48 with 1:39 left on a power play left over from the second period.
