It was a crazy night in Denver as the Carolina Hurricanes got into a wild west style shootout with the league’s top team falling 7-4 at Ball Arena Saturday night.
But despite the offensive explosion, the real storyline for the game is no on the health of Jordan Staal and Frederik Andersen.
Staal absorbed a big hit from Cale Makar in the third period and would not return to the game and Andersen seemed to tweak something in his lower body in the last five minutes of the game.
The captain had, yet again, put the team on his back with a two-goal performance to help spark a rally after his team went down 4-0 early in the second period and his line outbattled Colorado all night.
