Morning After grinding one out over the Flyers

It was one of THOSE games. The kind where nothing really comes easy. And, in those games, it's the grinders who often come through. Steven Lorentz' 7th goal of the season -- his 3rd against the Flyers this year -- off a great feed from Derek Stepan started the scoring in the 2nd. Then it was Jordan Martinook's 3rd of the year, late in the 3rd, deflecting a Vincent Trocheck flip from the point past Philly goaltender Martin Jones. It all added up to a 3-1 win for the Hurricanes. It was Carolina's 4th straight win and sends them to Pittsburgh 8 points up on the Penguins in the Metropolitan Divisioin.
