The Miracle on Ice happened 40 years ago.
There was something of another one Saturday.
The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-3 in an Eastern Conference showdown behind two goals from Warren Foegele and one goal each from Martin Necas, Nino Niederreiter, Teuvo Teravainen and Lucas Wallmark, but the scorers were hardly the story.
Disaster appeared to strike for the visitors when goaltenders Petr Mrazek and James Reimer went down with injuries, and the Hurricanes announced they were forced to turn toward emergency goalie David Ayres.
