The Carolina Hurricanes’ goal scorers made the jump to hyperspace on Star Wars night at PNC Arena. Seven goals and 60 minutes later, they earned a 7-4 victory over the New York Islanders, firing 45 shots on the two Isles goaltenders.
Surprisingly enough, just nine of those shots came in the three-goal third period in which the Hurricanes sealed their victory. Carolina continues to get scoring up and down the lineup, and on a night where the defense was not at it’s strongest, the depth certainly came in handy.
The “3rd” line
It’s impossible to do an analysis of last night’s scoring fiasco without a look at this line.
