The Carolina Hurricanes had a great month of October. 8-3-1, 17 points, 0.666% wiin percentage, 0.708% point percentage. Sitting second in the Metro Division. 38 goals for and only 30 goals against. Two Shutouts. Four comeback wins. This team answered a huge question that loomed after last year’s trip to the Eastern Conference Finals: “Is this team for real or was last year a fluke?”
By the way, the answer to that question is simple; this team is for real. But that wasn’t the only question that was answered in the twelve games that spanned the month of October.
