The View from Carolina

Michael Smith: Kings Edge Canes, 3-2

“The Hurricanes had three first-period power plays and recorded just one shot in that six minutes of man advantage time. Though they would finally convert on a power play in the second period, connecting or even generating more on the trio of power plays in the first could have helped jump start a team that had just five shots in the first 20 minutes.”
