The Carolina Hurricanes play an entirely different game in front of James Reimer. Today’s game was no exception. While I fully believe Reimer was pivotal in today’s win, the Canes’ on the whole managed to scrape out another win on the road.
Today’s matinee game went from pretty, to ugly, and back to pretty again as the Carolina Hurricanes basically traded goals with the Minnesota Wild after going up 2-0 early on.
Earlier today, in my three keys to victory article, I mentioned that the Canes needed to shut down the Wild’s biggest offensive threats, get more consistency from their goaltending, and keep scoring on the powerplay.
