Carolina Hurricanes coach Bill Peters had more things to say Sunday about goalie Eddie Lack.
This time, all good things.
Two days after being publicly criticized and challenged by his coach, Lack was given the start Sunday against the Arizona Coyotes. He responded by making 25 saves in a 2-1 road victory at Gila River Arena, the Canes winning on Derek Ryan’s goal with 3:57 left in regulation.
Asked after the game if he felt added pressure because of Peters’ comments, Lack said, “No, no, no, no. I have so many positive people around me and everything, and I felt like I got so many phone calls and texts the past couple of days.
