The Carolina Hurricanes closed out their last game before the All Star break with a win over the Winnipeg Jets, 4-1 in regulation time. Here’s how the Canes stacked up to our keys to the game.

Last night’s game was a much-needed breath of fresh air compared the Carolina Hurricanes’ recent matchups.

For the first time since January 16th, the Canes scored more than 1 goal in regulation time.

Justin Williams has breathed new life into this team; not only did the Canes score multiple times in regulation, but they limited the Jets to only one goal, and there were even a few ‘fights’ in last night’s tilt.

The heart and passion shown by the Carolina Hurricanes on the whole last night is something that has been sorely missed this season, and I believe we have Justin Williams to thank for bringing it back.

Yesterday, our three keys to the game highlighted several points that needed to be addressed in order for the Canes to win. I believe they hit all of them except for one in some capacity. Let’s dive a bit deeper.
