After the expected sluggish start last night that saw them trailing after giving up a bad goal , the Hurricanes lifted their play to another level. Displaying a sense of resiliency they have lacked at other times earlier this season, coupled with a tenacity and grit while playing on tired legs this team dominated the last 48 minutes of the game.
The mental toughness and willing to adjust saw the team cruise to a 4-2 victory on home ice while maintaining a firm grasp on a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. In a previous article I stated that March would really test the mettle of the Carolina Hurricanes and this team has proven they are up to the test.
