The Carolina Hurricanes finally played at home Thursday night, beating the Tampa Bay Lightning 1-0 in overtime thanks to a shutout from Petr Mrazek and a game-winning goal from Martin Necas.
The Canes played their first game in 10 days Thursday night, as five members of the team were absent while still on the NHL’s COVID protocol. It didn’t matter though, as a great effort from Mrazek and the team led the Canes to a win over the defending champs.
The Hurricanes had a limited practice Friday morning, and they also had some good news out on the ice.
