Why have the Carolina Hurricanes turned to Analytics and Advanced stats?

For those of you that don’t know, the Carolina Hurricanes have become absolute analytical favorites. They are among the best in terms of most analytics and advanced stats including but not limited to:

Corsi differential (For those that don’t know, Corsi is the amount of shot attempts taken in a game)

x_GF (expected goals for, this is usually based off of the quality of the shots the team gets combined with the amount of shots)

X_GA/60 (expected goals against per 60 minutes, this is the amount of goals any team would be expected to give up in a regular game, but Carolina seem to love overtime so far this season)

X_GF/60 (expected goals for per 60 minutes, this is the amount of goals any team would be expected to score in a game)

With the sudden upturn in the analytical flavor in the Carolina’s bunch of jerks?
