Morning After parking the Rangers, 6-3

If the game against the Rangers was in any way a mid-term exam, the Carolina Hurricanes aced the test. Dominant through two periods, the Canes led 5-1 en route to a 6-3 win and reclaimed 1st place in the division. Tony DeAngelo had a goal and two assists against his former team. Sebastian Aho scored his 17th goal of the year and recorded a pair of helpers as well and now has 4 goals and 10 assists in his last 4 games against New York. The last time the Canes and Rangers played was that 3-game sweep during the 2020 bubble-hockey playoff series in Toronto.
