The Carolina Hurricanes (12-11-6) scored a touchdown and went for two as they defeated the Vancouver Canucks (12-16-2) 8-6 on Tuesday night. That score is hardly indicative of the roller-coaster ride of the wildest game of the season so far. The Canes earned a measure of revenge by downing the Canucks after Vancouver won the previous match-up 5-4 in overtime on October 16th.
The scoring began with Sebastian Aho lighting the lamp early in the first period for his fifth goal of the season. Sven Baertschi, who had three points on the night, tied the game shortly thereafter at the 7:35 mark of the first period.
