2. The Canes Are Sharing the Love
One of the biggest problems that the Carolina Hurricanes faced, not only last season but in years past is the lack of goal production from more than just two or three players. That doesn’t seem to be the case this season, especially in this game as the goal scoring spree included six different players last night.
And that's the final. #Canes fly past the Red Wings, 7-3. Twelve different skaters record a point. Aho, Hamilton and Slavin each with three points.

The only player to scored two goals for the Hurricanes was Sebastian Aho who scored in the second period twice at 0:27 and 11:03. After Aho, you had the still red-hot Andrei Svechnikov, who has five goals in three games, four of which came in a row, Teavo Teravainen, who picked up his third on an empty net, and Nino Niederreiter, who scored thanks to commitment on the power play.
All those players had goal production last season, but in the matchup with Detroit new offensive weapons were showcased. Rookie Martin Necas went bar down for the prettiest goal of the game off a perfect pass from Ryan Dzingel. Then in the 3rd period, the sniper Brock McGinn rocketed home a wrister for not only his first goal of the season but a shorthanded goal no less.
With other weapons like Dougie Hamilton, Warren Foegele, Erik Haula, and Jordan Staal, the offense for the Carolina Hurricanes is now a four-lined attack that can strike at any moment. Exactly what Rod Brind’Amore wants from his team. The rest of the league is absolutely taking notice.
