Canes stymied by Vejmelka, lose 4-1 in Utah

Karel Vejmelka made 49 saves as the Canes lost to the Utah Hockey Club, 4-1. Not only did the Hurricanes pump 50 shots at the Utah goaltender, but they also wasted 11 minutes of 3rd period power play time. Pyotr Kochetkov takes the loss allowing 3 of the 4 Club goals. It was his first "L" in 3 weeks having won his last 7 starts. Worrying is that it appeared he might have injured himself on the goal that gave Utah the lead for good in the 3rd period. Martin Necas scored his 9th goal of the season and extended his point streak to 11 games.
