One of either Tyson Jost or Aleksi Heimosalmi is to thank for a go-ahead goal with under a minute in regulation.
Well, it was certainly a pre-season game.
While it wasn't the prettiest by any stretch of the imagination, the Carolina Hurricanes managed to pull out a 2-1 win Tuesday night in their pre-season opener thanks to a last minute goal.
Tyson Jost ended up deflecting home a Aleksi Heimosalmi blast, or actually it may have hit something else because I think it's being credited to Heimosalmi because nobody cares enough about the pre-season to check, with 44 seconds left in regulation to push the Canes to a win at Amalie Arena.
It really shouldn't have been a game that Carolina won because for most of the night, they were not the better team.
I just didn't think that the Hurricanes were very strong with the puck and also they struggled a lot defensively, especially with clearing and pressuring the points.
For the first two periods, the Lightning were constantly applying pressure to the Canes, but as the game progressed, Carolina did get better, turning the tide in the third period before finally breaking through.
