Now that’s how you start a hockey game.
The Carolina Hurricanes absolutely dominated the New York Rangers for the opening two periods of play Friday night in PNC Arena, holding on to win 6-3 and regain the lead in the Metro standings.
The Canes got two goals in an overwhelmingly good first period, as Vincent Trocheck scored on the power play with Seth Jarvis making it 2-0. Carolina came out in the second period blazing too, as Jesper Fast, Sebastian Aho and Nino Niederreiter all scored, with Tony DeAngelo adding a sixth late in the third period on the power play.
