The Carolina Hurricanes’ power play has rarely been marked by efficiency, but their efforts with the man-advantage last night were executed with seemingly newfound precision.
Perhaps even more interesting is that the two power-play tallies Carolina potted came from faceoff plays — one of the team’s focus points under the tutelage of Rod Brind’Amour. We’ve seen the Canes work with set plays befre, but for the team to settle into them immediately off the drop of the puck is a promising development.
Sebastian Aho’s strike knotted the game at two after the Caps went ahead in the second period.
