If the season ended today, the Carolina Hurricanes would record their highest finish in the league in goals and goals per game since Rod Brind'Amour took control behind the bench. They're currently sixth in scoring, with four player at or near 20 goals for the campaign. It feels as though they're inconsistent at times, but this team has proven they can score in bunches.

For the third and final part of my grading series, I'm breaking down all of the forwards to suit up for the Canes this season. I'm looking at 15 forwards, excluding Martin Necas and Jack Drury, since they're no longer on the team. I'd also recommend looking back at the first two parts of the series, where I broke down the goalies and the defensemen.
