Quick Whistles: Special Teams Dominance, Alex Nedeljkovic’s Net, and the Return of Dougie Hamilton

The Carolina Hurricanes are an absolute unit right now.

During their current eight-game winning streak, the Hurricanes have outscored their opponents by a margin of 29-15. That averages out to 3.6 goals-for per game to just 1.9 goals against per game.

It hasn’t been the 5-on-5 play that has carried them, though. It’s been their dominant special-teams play.

They’ve scored on 12 of their last 26 power-play chances, good for an astounding 46% conversion rate on the man advantage. They’ve only rendered three power-play goals against on 27 attempts during that time, as well.
