The Carolina Hurricanes dropped a 5-4 decision to the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Hurricanes have now allowed 11 goals over the past two games. Carolina outshot the Leafs 47-25 in Friday’s loss.
The Canes started the first period strong with an early offensive push. Derek Ryan fed Sebastian Aho with a smooth pass near the goal but Aho’s shot ended up in the mesh. Carolina was gifted an early power play opportunity after Zach Hyman tripped Teuvo Tervainen. Jeff Skinner and Victor Rask both got off shots in close but were not able to capitalize.
