The NHL’s COVID-19 shutdown was ill-timed for everyone, but especially for Carolina Hurricanes forward Justin Williams.
The Canes’ veteran winger returned to the team after sitting out the first half of the season to ponder his hockey future, and posted eight goals and 11 points in 20 games, including goals in five straight before the pause.
With the NHL and NHLPA reaching a tentative agreement to resume the season, along with a four-year extension of the CBA, Williams is ready to get back to it. He spoke with the media via Zoom Monday afternoon on a variety of topics.
