RALEIGH, N.C. — It was Whalers Night again Saturday for the Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena — the green Hartford jerseys, iconic logo, Brass Bonanza, Pucky on the warning siren, ‘80s music, all that.
That’s been good for a little extra energy in the building and so it was again Saturday. And the Hurricanes needed it.
The Canes, beaten a week ago by the New Jersey Devils, again found themselves being tested by a team that has has been losing but has speed, skill and some spunk in the lineup. The Canes won, 2-1, but it was a hard-fought game and well-earned victory.
