The Carolina Hurricanes took care of business last night handing the Dallas Stars their first loss of the season and look to extend their own winning streak tonight.

Last night was a wild ride. Everything seemed to click for the Carolina Hurricanes. From the power play to the kids really jumping into gear. It all came up aces for the Carolina Hurricanes.

And unlike their other three wins this season, it never felt like their opponent ever had a chance to get back into the game. Even with COVID decimating their roster. Even with their NHL Leading goaltender in GAA and Save Percentage getting injured early in the game and one of their young budding stars Max McCormick also finding himself rushing to the room to get checked on.

The Dallas Stars never stood a chance against this roster.

That is a statement on the organization and more specifically the coaching staff that Rod Brind’amour has built around himself. This team lives, breaths, and plays the kind of tough hockey that makes them a nightmare to defend against.

Let’s take a look at what went right last night and how this team can continue to bulldoze its way through Dallas this evening as they look to complete a weekend sweep of the defending Western Conference Champions.
