Canes take down Mammoth, 4-1

The Hurricanes beat the Mammoth in Utah, 4-1, as Freddie Andersen made 26 saves and Jordan Staal scored his 20th goal of the season.  Andrei Svechnikov and Sebastian Aho also scored, as Andre's career high 31st goal got Carolina on the board first on the power play.  Aho's deflection of a Shayne Gostisbehere point shot pushed Carolina's lead to 3-1 with less than 5:00 to play in regulation.  Sean Walker scored into an empty net, but it was one of his best -- and feistiest -- games with the Hurricanes.  Carolina is now just 1 point away from clinching home ice throughout the eastern conference playoffs.
