Losers of two straight, the Carolina Hurricanes desperately needed to turn things around, and they had to do it against one of the league’s toughest customers, the Nashville Predators.
The Canes did it, and they did it with heart, picking up a huge 4-3 shootout win in the Sunday matinee.
The Hurricanes were the better team early on, and they capitalized on a big chance just 3:37 into the opening frame.
Marcus Kruger shot a spring pass down ice and connected with Josh Jooris, who was able to open up Juuse Saros and inch the puck over the goal line to make it 1-0.
