As a group, the Carolina Hurricanes lead the league in terms of goals and points from their blue-line. They also have allowed the third fewest average shots across the league. They are 10th in average goals allowed per game. All the stats show you that this Carolina blue-line is a cheat code basically.
Let’s start with the guy everyone is talking about right now. Dougie Hamilton has been the best goal scoring defenseman in the league since January 1st. Dougie has 10 goals and 18 assists for 28 points on the young season, and is second league wide in defensive scoring, only to Washington’s John Carlson.
