RALEIGH — The scoring woes of the Carolina Hurricanes, which had been largely missing in action for most of the past week, came back with a vengeance on Friday night at PNC Arena.
The Canes couldn’t solve Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson, who made 33 saves, many of them of the highlight-reel variety, as they closed November with a 2-1 overtime loss to the Anaheim Ducks.
Oddly, both teams had plenty to grouse over after a first period that saw the Hurricanes outshoot the Ducks 21-6. Anaheim gave up way too much in front of John Gibson, including back-to-back breakaways from Warren Foegele and Dougie Hamilton, but the goaltender bailed them out with big saves including one on a Jordan Martinook follow-up of Foegele’s shot.
