The Carolina Hurricanes returned from a 12-day break Thursday with a commanding 4-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens in PNC Arena, one that featured strong play all around for the home team.
The story of the win for the Canes was special teams excellence, as none of Carolina’s four goals came at even strength. The Hurricanes went 3 for 5 on the power play, getting man-advantage goals from Nino Niederreiter, Teuvo Teravainen and Seth Jarvis.
Teravainen also had a shorthanded tally, with the Canes successfully killing off five penalties on the night. Jaccob Slavin also had a big night on the stat sheet, collecting three assists.
