Carolina Hurricanes Prospects Win Matthew Wuest Memorial Cup

The Canes defeated the Red Wings prospects 6-4 despite missing Haydn Fleury, Sebastian Aho, and Aleksi Saarela. Saarela missed the entire tournament with injury, Fleury missed the final few games with an injury, and Sebastian Aho is playing in the World Cup of Hockey.

It is remarkable that the team team could win despite three of the top prospects not playing in the finals. It shows how far the team has come since Ron Francis took over as GM. The entire organization has depth at all levels.

The Carolina Hurricanes beat the host and winner of the Gordie Howe division, the Detroit Red Wings, 6-4 in the tournament final.
