Hurricanes Stop Panthers 4-2 As Defensemen Power The Offense
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — It was another big night of offense for Carolina’s defensemen.
Dougie Hamilton sparked the Hurricanes’ high-scoring defensive unit with a goal and an assist to help Carolina beat the Florida Panthers 4-2 on Saturday.
The Hurricanes encourage their defensemen to contribute on offense as much as any team in the NHL, and it paid off against Florida. Carolina, which entered leading the league with 18 goals by defensemen, got two more as Brett Pesce delivered the Hurricanes’ first score and Hamilton broke a 2-all tie off a feed from Teuvo Teravainen with 2:15 remaining in the second period.
