With ten days to go before the trade deadline, the Carolina Hurricanes continue to give their general manager reason for pause before hanging the for-sale sign on the locker room door.
A two-goal performance from Jeff Skinner powered the Canes to a 5-2 win over the San Jose Sharks in front of 11,756 at PNC Arena on Friday night. Even the much-maligned Eric Staal, held without a point in eight straight games, finally found the scoresheet with an assist on the game-winner.
"Anything, at this point, would be getting me going," said the Canes' captain, who had seven shot attempts in the game including four shots on goal.
