The Carolina Hurricanes came out flat, fell behind to start the third, and eventually lost to the Vancouver Canucks 3-2, on Tuesday night at the PNC Arena.
The Canes could only muster four shots on goal in the opening period as they were outshot, 12-4. Vancouver held the puck in the Carolina zone for minutes at a time and came out with a physical edge, but Carolina kept the game close and would start to get to their game in the third.
Former Hurricane, Elias Lindholm, scored twice in his Vancouver debut. Both goals were on deflections during a Canuck powerplay.
