Two wins, four points for Canes in critical back-to-back
The Carolina Hurricanes found a way to win a road game Saturday.
In short, put Ron Hainsey on the ice at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Hainsey loves playing hockey in the place — and may be one of the few who does. The veteran defenseman had an overtime winner there last season against the New York Islanders, and did it again Saturday in overtime for a 5-4 victory.
The win was the Canes’ seventh on the road this season (7-14-6) and their first since a 4-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Jan. 5.
