First and foremost, the team got through the game healthy. Despite going just 1 for 5 on the power play (a 5-on-3 goal from Teuvo Teravainen), the Canes looked good on the man advantage. The penalty kill went 4 for 5. Vincent Trocheck scored the team’s other goal, and played very well. Fighting for a roster spot, Haydn Fleury looked good with a +1 and shot on goal in 15:44.
