The Carolina Hurricanes prepare for game two against the Rangers

The Carolina Hurricanes are coming off a big victory against a talented New York Rangers team. Here are three keys to a potentially triumphant game two.

Well, how about that for the first game back after a 4-month hockey hiatus? The Carolina Hurricanes and the New York Rangers played an extremely exciting game Saturday afternoon that saw both teams take a couple of blows… literally (See Featured Image).

The Canes and Rangers played some amazing hockey for having missed 4 months of real game action. The Rangers put up a good fight, although the Canes just seemed to dominant the game almost the entire time. The final score doesn’t necessarily symbolize that (3-2 in favor of the Canes) however, the Canes fended off 7 penalties without letting the Rangers capitalize on their power play.

Not only that but the Canes had the advantage in shots, face-off wins, power-play goals, as well as takeaways. The Canes came out the gates hot with assistant captain Jaccob Slavin scoring just 61 seconds into the contest.

The Canes will be looking at another noon game on Monday as they plan to take a two-game lead against Henrik Lundqvist and the Rangers. So, how exactly can the Canes expect to secure another victory against New York?

The Carolina Hurricanes are a Stanley Cup Contending team, no doubt about it so this team must take it one game at a time by executing and playing the physical and fast game that Rod Brind’amour has implemented since becoming the head coach of the team.
