Mr Viral
I don’t know how you felt at the start of the game, but with the recent Montreal sequence, I didn’t have much hope for this big duel against a power team.
The habs were in Carolina to face the Hurricanes.
Here are the lineups :

But a few seconds later, Jason Blake tied the score.
The celebrations were short-lived…

Until the end of the second period, the habs held on.
But two quick goals hurt a lot. Firstly, after a Mike Matheson turnover, followed by a Lane Hutson penalty, Taylor Hall found the back of the net on a powerplay.

And Sebastian Aho doubled the lead for his team.
I don’t know what Arber Xhekaj was trying to do on that play…

After two periods, the Canes had only four fewer shots (3) than the habs had goals (7)…
Unacceptable.
The visitors finally finished the game with 15 shots, but it wasn’t enough to beat the Canes.
Final score: 4-1 Carolina, who added an empty-net goal.
The habs will try to end their ugly losing streak (five) on Sunday afternoon in Florida.
Another big test ahead.
Overtime
– It was close.

– Nice pass.
Brent Burns established the 4th longest streak of consecutive games in NHL history by playing his 915th game in a row.

– He must be tired.
Matheson is not the problem. The problem is that MSL has to use him 28 minutes per game.
With more depth next season, it’s not an issue.

– It seems so.
