Five observations from the Carolina Hurricanes’ loss Sunday to the Vegas Golden Knights, matching the number of goals allowed by the Canes.
— Some might say the outcome was predictable: the Canes in the second half of a back-to-back, the Golden Knights resting on Saturday while the Canes played in Detroit.
But the Knights put on a 60-minute display of why they’re the talk of the NHL and have a league-leading 66 points in their 5-1 win. They’re fast. They’re dangerous in transition. They have a bigtime goalie in Marc-Andre Fleury who is giving his team high-quality starts in net game after game.
