Canes score three unanswered goals in the third period
The Hurricanes saved their best period of the game for the third, and the final 20 minutes was the difference in the game.
For the first time this season, the Canes won a game when trailing heading into the third period (1-17-3), which helped the team finish 4-1-0 on the trip and match its most successful five-game road swing in franchise history (Feb. 28-March 8, 1998).
"We got better," Teravainen said. "We've had some good last periods. We're trying to keep those good habits and keep believing in our game. We don't have to do anything special."
"The third period was our season," Ferland said. "We were the hungrier team."
"We weren't happy with our first two periods. We wanted to come out with a big push at the beginning of the period," Ferland said. "I thought as a team we had good jump in the third period. That's what we needed."
"Coming out in the third period and getting one right away settled everybody down. After that, I thought we played a pretty good game," head coach Rod Brind'Amour said. "The first shift really set the tone for the third period."
"Moving the puck. Shooting the puck," Teravainen said of what the power play did well. "Willy had a great shot. We made a nice, low play there, and I got a goal. Good plays."
"Every game, the power play has a chance to be a difference," Brind'Amour said. "It came up big tonight."
