The Carolina Hurricanes are coming into the time of year where they will need to turn on the jets and make a play for the playoffs. Sometimes a little stability towards the future is just the motivation players need to help them turn things on.
Last season saw the Carolina Hurricanes re-sign Jordan Martinook and Teuvo Teravainen to team friendly deals midway through the season and that helped push both players towards focusing on the game. Each player signed for their own special reason and together they became special players for the Carolina Hurricanes.
