The Carolina Hurricanes entered their Friday-night date with the Nashville Predators in the midst of their worst stretch of hockey this season.
After the disaster that was Wednesday night’s loss to the Florida Panthers, the Hurricanes desperately needed to get back in the win column against the Predators. They went through another scare, but this time, they managed to close things out en route to a 5-3 win ahead of their trip to Pennsylvania.
The opening minutes of the game looked like a continuation of how the Hurricanes played at the end of their disappointing loss to the Panthers.
