Bradly Nadeau and Justin Robidas each scored their second goals in as many games and Felix Unger Sorum netted the shootout winner as the Canes beat the Panthers, 3-2.
Carolina once again rode the scoring of their prospects against Florida's full lineup as Nadeau's 2nd of the preseason tied the game at 1 in the first period. Then, Robidas' 2nd of the exhibition season tied the game at 2 in the second period. Nadeau would give the Hurricanes the lead in the shootout with a slick forehand-backhand move to beat Akira Schmid. Then Cayden Primeau -- who came on for Brandon Bussi in the middle of the second period -- denied Carter Verhaeghe which set the stage for Unger Sorum's game deciding goal.
Bussi allowed 2 goals on 13 shots. Primeau stopped all 20 he saw. Mike Reilly led all defenseman in time on ice. Nadeau's 25:10 TOI led all skaters on either team.
