JUNIOR CANES WIN FIFTH STRAIGHT, NOW SIT ATOP CONFERENCE
Carolina
With an outstanding record of 8-2 in the last ten games, the junior Canes have simply exploded on the scene and made life miserable for all those in the way. Led by scrappy forward Junior Lessard, speedster Sergei Mozyakin and the dynamic two punch combo at center in Brandon Reid and Jeff Carter, the Canes have more than proven their worth and their early billing as the supposed team to beat in the league.
Rob Zepp stopped 34 of 37 shots in the contest while four players had 2 points. The Canes power play once again scored and went 1 for 3 in the game.
"This was a pretty solid victory for us," said defenseman Shea Weber. "Dallas is a pretty tough team to play against and they came out hitting. I think we dished it back but we got a bit undisciplined out there and it cost us a bit. Overall though, I think we played well."
David Cornacchia, the smooth skating defenseman, led the contest with a +3 rating and added two points. Tomas Mozsis buried a power play goal 5 seconds after the call, one of his two points.
"I think teams are starting to figure out that our team has too many guys who absolutely love to score," said head coach Craig Hartsburg. "I cannot recall a group of guys with more people who love to put the puck in the net. I don't ask teams to run up the score, but if we get a power play, I can't keep our top guys off the ice, they live for this."
The junior squad has the day off today.
