“Overall, it was a great effort,” Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “We had tons of opportunities. They had theirs. For a low-scoring game, there were quite a few opportunities.” “If you’ve been out that long, I don’t care what position you play, there’s going to be some rust factor, but he certainly doesn’t look like there’s any of that,” Brind’Amour said.
Skjei needed just 66 seconds to get the Hurricanes on the scoreboard in the first period. His shot from the point, through three Toronto players, went under Woll’s glove and into the net. Jordan Staal and Jordan Martinook assisted. Andersen was at his best against his former team in the second period. He made a point-blank stop on Toronto star Auston Matthews at 6:14.
