The Canes’ lone exhibition game before Saturday’s series opener had plenty to like, and plenty to not like in a 3-2 loss to the Capitals.
Rod Brind’Amour spoke to the media via Zoom after to offer his thoughts on the contest.
On what he liked and didn’t like: I didn’t like too much, to be honest with you. I felt like the third period was a little better. We started, I felt like, getting to more of what our game should like. I expected to be rusty. And we really saw that in the first two periods.
