The Hurricanes got the job done on Friday night with the San Jose Sharks in town, picking up a hugely impressive 4-3 win in shootout.
It was a game of inches early on. The combination of Warren Foegele and Justin Williams very nearly produced a goal in their first few shifts. Then, just about six minutes into the opening frame, Andrei Svechnikov centered the puck and set up a big chance for Jordan Martinook, but the former Coyote missed the shot and then missed the rebound off the end boards.
