The Carolina Hurricanes started off their six-game road trip on the right foot, managing to stave off the Pittsburgh Penguins’ late pushback Tuesday night at PPG Paints Arena in a 3-2 overtime victory.
The theme of the game could be summed up as “Sticking to it,” as all three Hurricanes goals came off of either playing until the end or second chances. It was a good sign for a group that had recently been undone by poor luck time and time again to show a strong brand of resiliency.
“We had a good game,” said head coach Rod Brind’Amour.
