It was as good of a start to a five-game road trip as the Carolina Hurricanes could have imagined Tuesday night, as defenseman Jaccob Slavin scored his first goal of the season 30 seconds into game one of a five-game swing through western Canada and Minnesota.
With Slavin’s goal starting things off, the Canes beat the Winnipeg Jets 4-2 Tuesday night, getting goals from Sebastian Aho, Martin Necas and Vincent Trocheck as well.
Carolina saw a 2-0 lead slip away but fought back, as the power play showed revitalized signs of life with Necas and Trocheck both scoring with the man advantage.
