CANES DEFEAT SENS IN CONFERENCE MATCHUP
Carolina
With a needed win to help keep up with conference and league leading New York, the Hurricanes took on the Ottawa Senators at home.
"This ended up being a huge test for our penalty killing," said head coach Joel Quenneville. "What is unbelievable to me is that these guys just keep taking dummy penalty after dummy penalty. It is amazing that we came out of this game with the win."
The Canes surrendered 9 power plays to the Ottawa Senators and luckily, only allowed one goals. On the other hand, Ottawa only gave the Canes one power play and Mike Fisher made them pay with his 14th of the season.
"It was a pretty big game for Jose Theodore," said captain Shane Doan, who ended the game with a game high 2 points. "He kept us in this game while we were short handed for much of it. He is the guy we look to when we need a win. He is the franchise."
Carolina rookie Michael Woodford, who was given duty on the second line with Kyle Wellwood and Jeff Friesen, tallied his first goal of his career.
"It was pretty exciting to get an opportunity to play tonight," said the young right winger. "I think overall we played well together and I hope I will get more ice time after this."
Carolina is in Los Angeles tonight.
