After being blanked by the Boston Bruins earlier this week, it was very important for the Carolina Hurricanes to play with a sense of urgency. After being shut out in two of their last three games, the offense needed to show some signs of life, and it certainly did tonight.
This game was back-and-forth all night. It didn’t take long for the Hurricanes to open up the scoring though. Just 51 seconds into the game, Andrei Svechnikov scored off of a beautiful feed from Warren Foegele. This wouldn’t be the only time the young Russian would make an impact either.
