3. Daddy’s Home!

Justin Williams’ return last night was nothing short of triumphant.

Throughout the game, Williams managed to get 3 shots on goal, and 3 scoring chances. His puck possession skill hasn’t gone anywhere, and he played as if he hadn’t missed a beat.

In the shootout, Williams would score the game winning goal, as Reimer would make a save against Anders Lee to secure the win.

Justin Williams was never expected to score a ton of goals right away, but he did immediately make an impact on the team.

I fully believe that impact spurred the Carolina Hurricanes on to victory. The rest of this season is going to be insane.
