The Hurricanes drop another one on the road trip, this time to the Kings with a heartbreaking 3-2 loss.
First of all, no matter the outcome, our thoughts are with the people of Los Angeles affected by the tragic fire.
Now to the game.
What we learned in the first period is that, yes, Jonathan Quick is in fact a great goalie. We knew this, but sometimes a visual aid helps. Sebastian “Seabass” Aho had back-to-back snipe opportunities, and Quick shut them down in spectacular fashion.
Williams missed a puck at the crease, one which against many other goalies would’ve been a wide open net but Quick shifted to have a chance at a save even if Williams would have corralled the shot.
