The game would tilt further toward the Hurricanes on Sebastian Aho's second of the night. The Canes would never look back in this one, even as Boston scored a couple in the latter half of the game. Rookie goalie Pyotr Kotchetkov had a clutch performance with both of the Canes' net minders injured & EBUG Jack Lafontaine ready to roll:
