On average, one player every season has scored their first NHL goal in their first career for the Carolina Hurricanes since moving to North Carolina in 1997. Monday night, in what is by all accounts a below-average season for Carolina, they finally got something to get them up to average in at least one category.
Warren Foegele scored the first goal of his NHL career as the Hurricanes finished off the home-and-home sweep, topping the Ottawa Senators 4-1 at PNC Arena in their third-to-last home game of the season.
Foegele opened the scoring with a minute to go in the first period on a tremendous individual play.
