Call of the Wilde: Carolina Hurricanes continue playoff success with win over Montreal Canadiens
The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Montreal Canadiens 6-4 in a high-scoring hockey game. Despite the loss, the Canadiens showed promise through the performance of Lane Hutson and the breakout potential of Zachary Bolduc.
Why it matters
The game provides insight into the early-season form and tactical development of both NHL teams.
After an abysmal defensive night in Pittsburgh, the Montreal Canadiens wanted to prove they could tighten up against the Carolina Hurricanes in the home opener.
However, this was the playoffs of last May all over again.
It stayed close on the scoreboard, but it was a crushing night for the confidence as the Canadiens fell to Carolina 6-4.
The Canadiens will play a lot of thrilling hockey this season. They can score. There are many architects on a high scoring team, but the greatest of them is Lane Hutson. He changes the tenor of the game. He creates the pace of the game.
