Score More than One Goal in Regulation

This one is incredibly self explanatory, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t at least mention it.

The Carolina Hurricanes have fallen into a weird trend lately. That trend is, confusingly, to try and win games while scoring as little as possible in regulation time.

The Canes have far too much talent to be held off the scoresheet like this, so I believe that it is high time this trend comes to an end.

Relying on your goalie in regulation time is one thing, but to consistently push him to perform well in the overtime period and into the shootout is not the way to win games.

The Carolina Hurricanes’ offensive producers really need to step up tonight. If we don’t score more than one goal in regulation, I see this game being a difficult one to win.
