Carolina Hurricanes: Three Underrated Hurricanes

The Carolina Hurricanes have plenty of flare this season. They have had contributions from a plethora of players that are currently on the roster. We take a look at a few Hurricane players that are underrated and deserve a little more attention.

When you think of the Carolina Hurricanes you typically think of the top performers on the team. You think of Sebastian Aho, who is the Hurricanes best forward with 30 goals and 51 assists this season. You think of him as a key contributor on the penalty kill ever since he has been assigned to kill off penalties. You think of Teuvo Teravainen having 51 assists on the campaign. Teravainen is a playmaker and a big piece of the Hurricanes offense.

On defense, Jaccob Slavin is the most well-known defenseman in terms of his production on the defensive end. You think of Dougie Hamilton when it comes to offensive defenseman with the production he has had since the start of the new year. Brett Pesce is starting to roll offensively and is always a huge asset on the blue line for the Hurricanes.

The team is in a tight playoff race and they need solid play from all four lines and all three defensive pairs. In order to make the playoffs, teams need to have a complete team that can mesh well with each other in terms in which they are effective at. This will dig through the bottom six forwards and even the third defensive pair to show some value to Hurricanes players that don’t always get their share in the spotlight.
