CANES PICK UP TWO MUCH NEEDED POINTS AS 4TH LINE SHINES
Carolina
A switch of roles can often lead to some success. Chris Pronger the team’s top defenseman and on ice leader of the club, was moved from his first line duty to the role of shut down man and double-shifting on the 3rd and 4th lines. A move like this can often lead to less production, but Pronger took the move in stride and ended up lighting up the contest with a goal and 3 assists.
Patrick Lalime got back on track by shutting the door late and keeping the Canes ahead throughout the game. Lalime stopped 21 of 24 shots and stood strong and enver allowed the Habs to go up a goal.
Carolina received more than enough offense from it’s newly formed line of newcomers, who together notched 3 goals and 3 assists. Led by Marc Savard’s 1 goal and 2 assists, including the game winner, and Michael Ryder’s two goal game, Zach Parise also notched an assist of his own. Quite an effort from a line who played a total of 6 minutes.
Of note, Brad Stuart and Scott Hannan, two former team mates, duked it out twice on the ice, both times resulting in a loss and an eventual misconduct for the duo. Hannahn will receive a 3 game suspension for his actions.
The Canes have tonight off and will await the Boston Bruins, a team who has given the Canes difficulties as of late.
