2. Did the Canes Score More than One Goal in Regulation?

Oh, yes. Absolutely, in the best way possible.

Not only did the Carolina Hurricanes collectively score more than one goal in regulation last night, but Justin Williams did it on his own. (Can you tell who my favorite player is?)

Williams’ impact on this team since coming back cannot be overstated. He is simply a game-changer, and nothing less.

Not to be forgotten, Martin Necas opened up the scoring for the Carolina Hurricanes, and Teuvo Teravainen netted a goal as well to bring the Canes’ regulation goal total to 4.

The Carolina Hurricanes have scored more than a single goal in regulation last night for the first time since January 16th; this kind of change is more than welcome, and I hope the Canes have finally kicked the trend of scoring a single goal in regulation for the rest of this season, at the very least.
