Carolina Doubles Up Jersey: Hurricanes 4, Devils 2

in Carolina Hurricanes Game Recaps
Email
PrintThe Carolina Hurricanes jumped out to a 3-0 lead and held on the rest of the way to defeat the New Jersey Devils, 4-2 on Monday night in front of 16,121 at the RBC.
It was the second win in a row for Carolina and the team has now earned points in five of their last six games.
Brandon Sutter started things off for the home team with a shorthanded tally about 11 minutes into the game. The Hurricanes are tied for first in the NHL with seven shorties. Sutter is second in the league with three of his own.
The second period was all Carolina as they only allowed two shots on goal the entire period. Tuomo Ruutu and Anthony Stewart would both notch goals. Ruutu's tally gave him points in five straight games.
With a 3-0 lead heading into the third, the Hurricanes did not play as desperately as they did in the previous periods and the Devils took advantage. First David Clarkson would score with 7:22 left, then Adam Henrique notched one five minutes later.
But the team held on the rest of the way and would score an empty netter when Ilya Kovalchuk tried to send a pass back to the blueline, only to zip the puck into his own goal. Brandon Sutter came close to tipping it and was originally given credit for the goal, but after review, Cam Ward was given credit.
Ward is the first goalie in franchise history to "officially" score a goal.
Game Notes:
- Late in the first period, Carolina was given a prolonged chance at a 5-on-3 including some 4-on-3 but they were unable to convert. Ryan Carter boarded Jaroslav Spacek and was ejected from the game. It will be interesting to see if he gets "Shanabanned" with a suspension. Spacek was able to come back and play in the game.
- Carolina outshot Jersey 33-25. Chad LaRose had a game high six shots.
- Ward finished with 23 saves on 25 shots and was not over-worked in this one.
- The Canes won 49% of the faceoffs. (Staal 46%, Sutter 53%, Jokinen 50%, Brent 45%)
- The Devils outhit the Canes 27-15. Justin Faulk had a team high four.
- Jussi Jokinen had a game high three takeaways. The team had a total of six.
- Jay Harrison had a team high 23:40 of ice time. Faulk was next with 21:50. Stewart was low man at 7:40.
- check out post game interviews at Canes PR.com.
- UPDATE: Carolina also announced that they recalled forward Zac Dalpe from Charlotte. Dalpe will fill in for Patrick Dwyer, who suffered an injury in this one.
- The Hurricanes will face the Penguins in Pittsburgh tomorrow night.

great game, just wish they'd play stronger in the 3rd.
Great game, will take the win – they just need to stop getting a little slack in the 3rd.
Ready for the Canes to win the Cup again! :)
The second goal was the direct result of Allen blocking a shot, falling to the ice in pain allowing the goal scorer a direct path to the rebound and shot at a fairly open net. If Allen does not go down the shot never would have been made.
That was Gleason, not Allen, I think
From what I saw, the puck hit Gleason in a very vulnerable spot. He collapsed in pain.
Checked the replays on NHL.com. It was Gleason. Not sure if it was hand or family jewels. Lucky break for the Devils more than a defensive breakdown. Interesting watching the game highlights on NHL.com 80% of them are of the Canes.
I have it on “film” but inconclusive as well. Could be either of the locations you describe.

Stewart TOI
Stewart is playing great. I have no clue why he and Nodl don’t get more shifts and time on ice.
No forward skated over 20 minutes tonight. Seemed it was distributed pretty well tonight. Nodl doesn’t play on the PK or PP so I think that’s why he doesn’t see more minutes.
There must be something about Stewart though, he only got about 7 minutes and was seeing about the same time or less under Mo. Maybe it’s conditioning and the coaches don’t think he can play at the pace required to get 19 or so minutes that the top line plays. I think Muller has his 2nd and 3rd line set so I’m not sure he wants to put Stew on either of those. That’s the only reason I can think of. The only person to possibly swap him with right now may be LaRose and he’s actually playing really good right now. That’s my only clue – I could be dead wrong about all of that though, lol
"I'm not going to waste my time with Tuukka Rask" - Cam Ward
Stew has a good amount of potential. If he were a bit more consistent, he be somewhat of a replacement for Cole. He and Nodl seem to be developing some good chemistry. Great look by AL last night and his driving the net gave the Moose enough to think about. Same with Dwyer driving hard on Sutters shorty.
Stewarts scoring pace per minute is one of the best on the team. His shooting percentage is also good. That was a pretty shot he scored on. You can see there is potential ther, but for some reason it seems like Stewart doesn’t have the inner drive or hunger to be all he can. With his size, speed and hands, i can see the same things Doug does, but WStewart isn’t impressing any hockey minds that matter.
Love to see that change, but he’s not that young any more and has had plenty of chances. He seems to enjoy playing, but isn’t as serious about his “game”. He looks like he could be a top six player, but his play and effort are not top six player like.
Yep, he’s playing a lot better hockey. Wonder how much of it has to do with him getting more familiar with Muller’s “go north” style of play?
"I'm not going to waste my time with Tuukka Rask" - Cam Ward
+15
Ruutu has stepped it up, playing more like the Ruutu Canes fans have come to love. Now if only Juice and Staal could round back into familiar form.
I’ll still stick to my guns and say that despite Rosie having his best statistical year, he does absolutely nothing for the lines he’s on. He drags down the performaqnce of top six lines while he’s th eonly one that seems to benefit. His — ratings from last year and this year bear that out, and point out he’s not strong enough to battle with top six NHL forwards and top defenders….
I’m finding the perspective on Ruuty interesting, given that he still really isn’t hitting, at least not on the stats sheet (Exhibit A, he was credited with zero hits last night, and averaging less than 2 per game). But he seems to still be playing plenty physical. Perhaps he’s redefining himself this season. If it means putting the puck in the net more, that works for me.

New rules this year have been very tough on players like Ruutu. He has had to adjust from what he was doing his entire career. I think he is finally getting comfortable.
Ruutu Plays an Honorable Game
So true. Ruutu plays an honorable game and sticks to the rules. The rules changed and he had to adjust. He also had to adjust back to being a right wing where it is harder to line up players for open ice hits. I think Ruutu is now finding a great balance between physicality and being a scorer. He, too, will benefit from having Muller and MacLean as coaches. Ruutu’s natural style fits almost ideally under the new approach.
Anyone know the extent of Dwyer’s injury?
by jbcanesfan26 on Dec 26, 2011 11:42 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Dwyer's Injury
I sit in section 105. The hit was directly across the ice from me. He got a big, and late, hit to the face. He was upset about the hit at the the time. That hit was the only thing I saw that looked as if it might cause an injury.
It was an elbow to the face/head (from Clarkson I think) at the buzzer to end the period. to end the period.
I don’t think that was the injury. He was no worse for wear after that hit, which was by Volchenkov by the way.
I believe the injury came in the third period. He was skating around the penalty box area and was leaning forward kind of awkwardly. Parise gave him a bump and Dwyer fell over and slid head-first into the boards. He was very slow to get up, sat huddled on the bench for a few minutes, and then went to the locker room for the rest of the game. Looked like a neck injury.
Does anyone live out of the market and have Game Center Live? I wasn’t around for the game tonight and have to watch the replay of it to track scoring chances and I can’t get the feed to load at all.

ADoug will be happiest man in the entire Carolinas if Muller puts Bowman and Dalpe on the top line with Staal ;)
Big props to LaRose tonight. I know he didn’t finish the breakaway or his opportunity that hit the side of the net but he was buzzing all over the ice tonight. I think Muller really likes his game. For what he lacks in finishing skills, he makes up with his forechecking and ability to just create havoc with his non-stop hustle.
4-2-2 in the last 8. Not great but I think this team is slowly finally developing an identity.
"I'm not going to waste my time with Tuukka Rask" - Cam Ward
Seems like the team has been outshooting the opponents a lot more the last few games, too.
I remember that was usually the case under Laviolette.
Puck Possession
I seem to remember Laviolette saying…my philosophy is to possess the puck..and if you don’t have it..go get it! I think the agressive forechecking and forwards defensive play is causing the impressive SOG and ‘zone time’ in the Canes favor.
I don’t like the way this thread is developing.

Woke up Happy at the Thought of Bowman/Staal/Dalpe
You are so correct. I woke up happy this morning at the thought of a line comprised of Bowman/Staal/Dalpe. As far as LaRose goes, he did great, except he demonstrated again why it’s futile to put him on a scoring line. He was all over the ice. His forechecking was superb. He even made an excellent pass (or at least it seemed excellent at real time) to Staal on a give and go (but Staal fanned on the shot). The lack of finishing skills on a forward playing in the top six is brutal. It’s like saying a goalie has great form, but unfortunately he can’t stop a puck.
If indeed the Hurricanes have some money to burn, LaRose would do great on a fourth line under Muller’s approach and killing penalties. If Rutherford wants to pay $1.9 million for LaRose and have him the highest paid fourth line player since Scott Walker that will work. As long as LaRose is not expected to do things he has proven game after game he cannot accomplish, he’s fine within the limits of his skills.
Hustle, grind, energy…. you can use a lot of words to describe Chad’s play. But his ability to see the ice and distribute the puck is sorely lacking. He missed SO many opportunities to hit both Staal and Bowman who had space and speed in the neutral zone that I wanted to jump over the glass and shake him. You would never use the words skill, finesse, hockey sense, etc. to describe his play…. simply put his is NOT a top 6 forward.
I have always liked the guy but as a 3rd or 4th line energy, hustle and forecheck player. This overslotting and putting him on the PP is beyond annoying. It will be interesting to see if Muller moves him to play with Sutter and puts Dalpe with Staal. Staal played an excellent two way game last night. Excellent in his own end and neutral zone. He is doing everything but score. I think the goals will come.
I agree…. Watching him on the pp last night was frustrating…I would like to see Nodl or Tlusty on the PP rather than Chad…
The first line winger should be there for skill, not for effort. LaRose screwed up a few opportunities due to his lack of vision on the ice. Multiple times he could have had a pass to Bowman for a great chance, but he shot it into the goalie’s chest. He failed miserably on the powerplay.
Great effort, but he should be on the 3rd line to display that effort.
It's not Staal's linemates or lack thereof
Eric is just off his game big time. He is constantly mishandling the puck. He doesn’t control passes on his stick, telegraphs passes or sends passes blindly to the opponent, or stick handles into a crowd and loses the puck. At this point in the season it is no longer fair to blame Staal’s lack of production on Chad. That is, unless the expectation is that linemates should carry Staal until he figures out his own problems.
Too bad…over the last two, you missed two shining examples of a nearly complete game in both ends of the ice. If it had said Marc Staal on the back of the jersey we would have all praised his two way game. I couldn’t disagree more on your analysis about his control in traffic. In the Ottawa game the Canadian media were gushing about how strong his defensive play was that the only thing missing for him right at the moment was putting the puck in the net. The other coaches have also commented that Muller has done a great job taking the pressure on him to score and just concentrate on his overall game….. Rod mentioned that he thought Staal’s game had improved immensely since that pressure to score was removed.
That wiff in front….. I was visiting down low with a friend and it was right in front of me…. the puck bounced just before he swiped it.
No one is looking for anyone to “carry” Staal…. just someone who knows how to properly distribute the puck and is enough of a threat that other teams stop double teaming Staal. Much of Eric’s problems is that he always has two guys draped over him…. but perhaps you know something that other teams have missed since they continue to put their best D-men and defensive forwards on the ice every time he is out there and double of him.
Puck seemed to be bouncing a bit all over the ice last night from where I sat. It was hopping a lot of players sticks. I like Staal and Bowman together. Bowman brings the hustle and the nose for the puck that LaRose brings, but has more upside in the scoring department. They just need a skill guy and I think they would all take off. Could be Nodl, could be Dalpe. It will be from within, at least for now. Staal gets a lot of attention on the ice, someone who can take some free ice and do something with it would be great.
I am perhaps overly sympathetic to Staal at the moment. There have been times when he was slow to get back, soft of the puck, etc. that I did not liked his game. But of late that has not been a problem and he has played a very solid two way game. All that is not happening now is him putting the puck in the net. You have to have “lived” that to know how it feels. I never had the NHL experience but in Juniors I had back to back 50 goal seasons. Everything just seemed to click. The next year I scored 6 goals in the first 5 games and then nothing for 24 games. Same player, same linemates, everything pretty much the same…. just could not find the net. Towards the end I cheated up high, started passing almost all the time… was way off my game and coach took me aside and told me that if I didn’t relax he’d take me off the 1st line since I was hurting both my line and the team. I kept it real simple and while it didn’t turn right away I played about the best two hockey of my junior career. And then the goals started coming. That was not the NHL where everything is just that much more magnified and the pressure is high. But the principle is the same. Muller understands. He has been through it. He will help Eric and he too will get past this. He is too talented not to.

Staal plays against everyone’s top line. Notice the term top line. The last I checked there are usually 3 top players in the top line and right now the ’Canes do not have a true top line to compete against many other teams. I think it would be pretty easy for a top line from another team to shut down the single top player on another.
I agree that Staal has really picked up his defensive game since Muller arrived. He is now clearly working as hard on both ends of the ice as you could ask. But, I still maintain he is not nearly good enough with the puck at this time. The missed scoring opportunities aren’t the issue for me. Bounces are certainly not going his way. But he is making to many bad passes that aren’t to a teammate and mishandling too many passes that are on his stick. Too often when the double team comes to Eric the puck does not go to the open teammate,especially when that teammate is a defenseman behind the play. Too often he skates into a crowd and is forced to make low percentage passes. Too often he tries the pass after the double team arrives rather than before the second defender gets there. There are many top centers in this league who consistently draw double teams and are not turning over the puck as consistently. Eric’s line will always draw the other teams best defenders and Eric will always draw special attention from that line. Sure better linemates would help Eric’s line as they would any line on any team. But better linemates won’t improve his passing out of double teams. Better linemates won’t improve his handling of passes that hit his tape. Eric may just be trying too hard, trying to do it all because he doesn;t trust his linemates. He may need to just take his 2 defenders away from the goal and let the 4 on 3 ensue on the other side of the ice.
Sorry. Just disagree. The crowd you speak of is not him skating into it but the extra defensive pressure because the other team is concentrating on taking away his space with both strong back pressure and a the D focusing on him. Not sure if you have ever played but there is this concept of puck support. It means that when you are being double teamed there should be time and space for linemates and they should be providing positional support which in this case means getting to open ice… the “space” concept. Bowman gets this and is constantly going to open ice. LaRose does not and therefore Staal is often missing 50% of his options. I have played with guys like that with low hockey IQ and know what it feels like. You tend to hold the puck, over handle it, try to do too much because your idiot winger has no feel for where he should be.
I do tend to look at the game more as a player and no doubt I see things differently. Most of the time I had great linemates. They found space and it made my job to distribute the puck so much easier. Not saying that maybe I am overly sympathetic to Staal because I was center, but I just don’t see what you do.
What you are describing is exactly how I see it. It’s impossible for Staal to take advantage of his being double and triple-teamed if only Bowman and not both Bowman and LaRose are reading the play and finding seams. Even when LaRose gets to the seam and the soft ice, he can’t convert the pass into a goal.
I can only speak from the perspective of another sport, basketball; and as a point guard there was nothing more frustrating than a power or center who couldn’t read that I was intentionally forcing a double team on me so I could get them a sweet shot – only to have them go into traffic. I see LaRose do the same thing in hockey and I know I’d be boiling inside if I were Staal or Bowman, thinking “come on dude, I am trying to set you up for an easy shot.”
Never played hockey...can't even skate
Have seen nearly every game the Canes have played, often watch games twice. Once in person and then on tape. Watched a son play minors and referee at the junior and college level. Sorry but I don’t buy the idea that unless you played at least to the junior level you can’t see and judge on ice performance. Played and coached basketball and soccer. In both games time and space are everything and double teams are constants. Hockey is faster and real skill is less common. Pre-Muller my fault with Staal was his compete level and that has been cured. I don’t like LaRose on the first line, never did. But people with a higher hockey IQ than those of us on this blog obviously don’t think that Chad is the problem. If they did his removal from Staal’s wing would have been done long ago. Blaming LaRose for Staal’s current propensity to turnover the puck shows more of your desire for a neat answer to the problem that preserves Eric’s icon status than an accurate objective assessment of his current play. Against the Devils Eric had many unforced turnovers that were the result of sloppy play not double teams.
Muller Time
For the record, I absolutely love what Muller brings. The guy is really in tune with where the NHL is right now. He knows what it takes to win and has ended Club Carolina. Hard work is being rewarded and treating Staal exactly the way he needs to be treated. He is demanding everyone to ride the team bus. High marks to JR for having the guts to go outside for this young awesome coach of the future. I think he is smart enough to not cross PK. Maurice is becoming a memory and the future is bright because, IT’S MULLER TIME!!!

true i would have love to see the game on TV but seeing the Canes will have 72 games out of 82 still isn’t too shabby…yet last nights game with a “W” still had room for “improvement”…yet I’ll NOT sit here and say Bah Humbug…because of that…and i feel the canes see and now feel they need to be play and compete like they are #1 and not #30 and gonna get a “participation” trophy for just showing up…Like many here i too wonder why the Bench can’t have ona consistant basis 4 rolling lines even if at times there afre mixed and matched..because a few players can’t cary the whole team…sure we have a couple who have and do..and continue to do so…but it was gfood to see stewart & nodle step it up..and i feel bad for joslin as he must be all but going nutz having to sit there and watch..I remember the last time he did that ands he came out like a man posessed..a good game and loved how it ended…with a “W” and 2 points !! so now and lets see if the Canes can’t bring that hanson brothers mentality and not get pushed around as they put the puck in the net!! ..have a good day…Lets Go Canes !!

McBain should take notes from Faulk’s game, He is always calm. Has great positioning and uses outstanding leverage to win battle with much bigger guys. I don’t often gush about players but Faulk is the real deal and can really play this game. Hard to believe he is just 19.
McBain tends to panic a bit in his own end and then runs around which gets him in trouble. He is also not as strong on his skates and the puck as Justin. Some of this is technique and he can improve. What is hard is to increase hockey IQ. He will gain experience but what he does with that experience will determine his long term future. But too soon to give up on him.
Do you think we should have let him develop in the AHL instead of throwing him into the NHL? I feel as if he was rushed into this role and he is floundering around at the moment. I think Joslin is a much better player for a 3rd pairing defenseman, but I assume they don’t want to stunt McBain’s development by not playing him.
Agree
Faulk’s body positioning is outstanding. McBain is good with is stick, but his positioning isn’t as good, and when he wins a puck battle he often turns the puck back over—either by passing too quickly or by getting it taken back. Faulk positions his body so the opponent is shielded and can’t find the puck—Faulk can then pass or skate away with more time and composure. It’s great to watch.
McBain is a good one to watch to see if the organization can develop players at the NHL level. He clearly has skill but room to improve, that’s where the coaching staff comes into play. If this team is going to build for the future much of it will have to be at the NHL level it appears. Lets see if we have the right teachers at this level for the offense, the D is a question to me.

Sutter again...
Watching Sutter last night made me wonder who Muller is going to use when the first shoot-out opportunity comes along. Bet he uses Sutter!
Really Nice Game; Congratulations Cam on Your First Goal!
Certainly took advantage of a tired team that really did not wake up until the 3rd. This is going to be a fairly tough week with more games tonight, Thurs and Sat. 6 more points would be nice especially with the Bolts only one point up.
First Cane/Whaler goalie to score a goal……not that is indeed a record even if it was a bit odd.
Ryan Carter……suspension coming. Spacek bounced back and that was nice to see. Forgot that Carter was a former Cane. Bad boy…….he has done this before.
So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.

I don't understand the scorekeeping quirk
why should Ward get credit for a goal? He didn’t direct the puck at the goal at all. He sent it behind him. In soccer, that would be scored as an own goal. That concept doesn’t exist in hockey?
He’s the 13th goalie to score a regulation goal in NHL history. How many of the others were similarly bogus scorekeeping goals?
The Condor. #63.
Who Else?
That’ the way it’s always been, and I’ve seen it happen at a Charlotte Checkers game in 1996 in the ECHL! Ward was the LAST Carolina player to touch/handle the puck before the Devils player, on an attempted pass, shot it into his own net, therefore he gets credit for the goal. You really can’t credit the opposing PLAYER for Carolina’s goal, so who else are they going to give it to? Hold a drawing? It wasn’t bogus, that’s the RULE!!

Its happened 10 times but only 4 were actual goals. I think Ron Hextall had two of them.
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting"..........holy cow.......what a ride!"
I think it has happened 13 times
but Ward is the 10th goalie to do it. Hextall and Hasek had more than one.

Gleason
Don’t think I’ve seen anyone else mention Gleason’s play last night. Assists are nice but more importantly I thought he played one of his best defensive games of the year. His feet were moving and he was always in the lane. The one goal against he did his best to block the shot and took it in a bad spot.. problem was they were outnumbered down low so not his fault. This was more like the Gleason of old.
+1
he also punished a few people with some solid work on the boards.

High Praise
sittler27, that is very high praise for Gleason. You have been very clear in your criticisms of Gleason when you concluded he was not playing well, so to me your comments carry quite a bit of weight. In some ways perhaps the Canes team is trying to show Jim Rutherford that it isn’t really the team as a whole that was the problem; but instead, it was a problem largely of Jim Rutherford’s and Peter Karmanos’ creation, that is a lack of elite talent on the first line. Adding two top six forwards, along with the return of Jeff Skinner, would have a huge difference.
The two first line forwards, as far as I am concerned, can come from any combination of young forwards already in the system, draft choices, or trades. It just takes two.
A nice win
Just nice to beat the Devils again, it has been a while. A great team effort and look out Wayne Gretzky, here comes Cam Ward.
Downside of linking to game on computer
Linked to www.firstrowsports.tv suggested by Gunning for the Cup. Down loaded ilivid software to improve picture. Computer crashed after 2nd period. Spent three hours online this morning with nice gentleman from India removing ilivid viruses.
Did anyone else have similar problem?
On the plus side Canes won! Ruutu was awesome and Stewart was pretty darned good.

+1 to what Spiz said.
Sites like that are not hosting these things in any legal shape or form, and until the NHL decides to stream games online live – it’s all some of us have. So use caution when clicking on anything other than the video while on them. Never install software from a site that isn’t the site of the actual company of the software either.
Ready for the Canes to win the Cup again! :)
