RALEIGH — Petr Mrazek’s shutout of the Arizona Coyotes on Friday night set a high bar for James Reimer to clear on Saturday. He did - and then some.
Reimer made 41 saves of his own, in front of a significantly shakier offense than the one Mrazek enjoyed the previous night, as the Carolina Hurricanes finished off a pair of back-to-back shutouts against the Pacific Division in a 2-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings in front of a sellout crowd at PNC Arena on Whalers Night. It’s the first time since 2003 that the Hurricanes posted shutouts in back-to-back games.
