You would be forgiven if you believed you were send back in time to the year 2018, where the Carolina Hurricanes knew how to fire shots on a goalie but not past him. It was that kind of game. In 60 minutes of gameplay they fired 46 shots on Sergei Bobrovsky getting none of them past the 30 year old Russian netminder. That steel curtain was enough to make up for awful play by the Blue Jackets for the next two periods.
At a first glance, it doesn’t seem like there is much to take away from this game, The Carolina Hurricanes were shutout and seem to be stuck in the rut that almost knocked them out of playoff contention by December before the New Year’s surge that brought them all the way back.
