It wasn’t a typical trajectory into the net.
After breaking out for a 2-on-1, Hurricanes winger Jeff Skinner kept the shot but instead of going on frame, the puck caromed off of Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun's stick and then slammed into the post before dropping into the crease to set up an easy tap-in for the trailer on the play.
And center Derek Ryan buried it with 3:57 to go, pushing the Hurricanes past the Coyotes 2-1 Sunday at Gila River Arena to split their home-and-home series after Arizona posted a 4-2 win Friday in North Carolina.
