Last night was quite a victory for the Carolina Hurricanes at the hand of a very good Minnesota team. As the final minutes ticked down on what would be a convincing 5-2 victory, tragedy struck.
Max Pacioretty was skating at the goal line and suddenly fell to the ice in pain.
After months and months of rehabilitation to return to play after tearing his Achilles, Pacioretty finally came back and was about to finish his fifth game of the season.
