Sometimes, it is just a matter of inches.
The Carolina Hurricanes were seemingly on their way to a comfortable victory Sunday over the Edmonton Oilers. A sellout crowd at PNC Arena was on its feet and loud as defenseman Brett Pesce blistered a shot past goalie Mike Smith off the rush.
Then, in a matter of seconds, it all turned. The Canes won, but it was anything but comfortable, a hard-earned 2-1 victory that Carolina’s fifth in a row.
