The Carolina Hurricanes won a 2-1 game where things often seemed to favor the Columbus Blue Jackets except on the scoreboard. That makes the second one-goal win in a row for the boys in red, not counting the shootout win in Vegas (technically one goal, but not the same IMO).
Is this a big deal? Well, have you watched the Hurricanes this season?
Entering the Buffalo game on Friday, Carolina was 2-6-3 in game decided by one goal, not counting shootouts. Four points in 11 games.
So if you were like me last night, when that Columbus goal went in on the redirect by Jack Johnson, you’re heart probably sunk a little bit.
