Hurricanes 3, Panthers 0

Fat Lady?

I didn’t hear no Fat Lady and neither did the Carolina Hurricanes.

The Hurricanes were finally able to get to their game and got a shut out performance from Fred Andersen in goal as they defeated the Florida Panthers, 3-0 on Monday night at Sunrise, Florida.

After a tight and scoreless first period, the Canes started to control play by not allowing a shot-on-goal for about 14 minutes.

Midway through the second period, highly touted rookie Alexander Nikishin, flicked a perfect pass to Logan Stankoven who was streaking into the Florida zone.

Stankoven made no mistake, roofing his shot over Sergei Bobrovsky to make it 1-0, for the first lead of the series for Carolina.
