With Scott Darling in the net, the Carolina Hurricanes desperately needed something to feel good about as they put the finishing touches on what had been a very disappointing road trip.
The Chicago Blackhawks got better and better as Thursday’s game went on, but the Hurricanes found a way to get back in the win column and finished on the right side of a 4-3 final score.
The first period was one hell of a spectacle.
From the outset, the Hurricanes weren’t very organized. There were a couple of painful lapses in judgement, both with and without the puck.
