3 takeaways as Canes dominate in Winnipeg against the Jets

Carolina’s former division rival to the south suffered a 4-2 defeat at the hands of the Carolina Hurricanes who earned this win in a hard-fought fashion. As the Canes dominated the on-ice proceedings, it was a hit that a lot of fans are coming out of this game discussing and the five-minute major that was awarded on the play, as well as the $5,000 fine for kneeing that accompanied it.

Obviously, we will get to that, but as for now, we have a lot of good to talk about as the Canes are now trying to chase down the Washington Capitals and New York Rangers who are ahead of them in the Metropolitan Division standings. This road trip is going to be big in the chase of the divisions’ leaders and the Canes will need to perform well if they want to add another division championship to last year’s one.

Carolina’s former Southeastern division rival was soundly defeated by a score of 4-2 as the Canes tallied two powerplay markers on either side of the 2nd intermission to see the team put the game out of reach and as the Canes closed the door in the third period as they so often do, we get to talk about another two points in the standings for the great organization.

This was a really well-played game from the team and they did well to get the lead and push back when Winnipeg set out to try and get back into this one. They dealt well with the pressure and they ensured that as the defense continued to keep the Winnipeg attackers at bay throughout the night. It was a good performance from the team, and it was a very promising display for the fans.
