Rod Brind'Amour helped Carolina stay perfect at home with the first goal of the game - which turned out to be the game winner. The game was scoreless going into the third period. Niclas Wallin added an insurance goal to seal the deal for the final score of 2-0.
Staal was quiet tonight but he did manage an assist on Wallin's goal, and I was happy about that.
The crowd was decent. I don't know how many people were there because the attendance hasn't been posted yet. Not as many as the Philly game last Friday, but still pretty good. Maybe 17,000. It was a pretty quiet crowd though until the scoring started. REALLY quiet.
I don't know if the Canes were flat - I mean they did outshoot the Panthers in the first period and played great defense, but there just wasn't a lot going on. A few breakaways, but this game was definately less exciting than others.
Well, at least we didn't trail in this one!
The Canes head north to Buffalo for a meeting on Wednesday, then back south to Florida for Friday's game before coming back home on Saturday for their first meeting with the Trashers.
GO CANES!
