The Carolina Hurricanes triumphed over the Vancouver Canucks 4-3 in the shootout last night. Here’s how the Canes stacked up to our keys to the game.

The Carolina Hurricanes remain undefeated in the shootout this season as they toppled the Vancouver Canucks 4-3 last night.

Last night’s game was a rollercoaster; from blocked shot injuries to horrific officiating, last night’s tilt ran the gamut of crazy hockey situations.

The Carolina Hurricanes gained a much-needed two points in the standings, and are still desperately clinging to a wildcard playoff spot.

Several things could’ve been done better, but the Canes managed to hit every key to the game last night; from Andrei Svechnikov‘s position in the lineup to the Canes’ ability to get the puck out of their own end, they were relatively successful at hitting them all. Let’s take a look at how they stacked up to each one.
