Kotkaniemi silences Bell Centre with shootout winner, Canes complete comeback

Am ugly start for the Carolina Hurricanes was capped off by perhaps the perfect ending as the Canes pulled off a comeback victory over the Montreal Canadiens 4-3 in a shootout Tuesday night at the Bell Centre.

The Canes looked slow and sloppy to start the game and it didn’t take long for them to wind up in a 2-0 hole.

Turnovers, inability to clear pucks, losing foot races, you name a problem and the Hurricanes were doing it.

Despite an incredibly inferior roster, Montreal had heart and grit and were just outworking Carolina.
