Carolina Hurricanes: Morning After closing the 1st half in style

Canes won their 7th straight, 5-1 over the Buffalo Sabres and head into the All Star break with a 10-game point streak. Sebastian Aho scored for the 6th consecutive game, netting a power play goal early in the 1st period. Stefan Noesen, Brent Burns, Derek Stepan and Jordan Martinook each scored, with Martinook's coming shorthanded into an empty net to close out the scoring. The Hurricanes have 8 shorthanded goals since the start of January and have only allowed 9 power play goals. Now, everyone is headed to a beach until we resume the schedule Saturday, February 11 at PNC Arena against the Rangers.
