The Carolina Hurricanes never gave up and even scored a goal with 10 seconds left, but eventually fell to the Tampa Bay Lightning by a score of 6-5, on Friday night in Tampa.
The Canes had mostly a line up of non-NHL players and it often looked like it, but the team continued to fight on.
Prospect goalie, Amir Miftakhov, went the distance for the Canes and he allowed 6 goals on 28 shots.
Carolina’s special teams were less than special as they went 0-7 on the powerplay and allowed 2 goals on 3 penalty kill attempts. One of the powerplays was a long 5 on 3 advantage but the Canes did not get a sniff.
Tyson Jost had a team high 22:05 of ice time and also had 5 shots on goal with three hits.
Alexander Nikishin was next up with 21:49. He led the team with 4 blocked shots.
The scoring was spread out as Givani Smith, Gleb Trikozov, Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Noel Gunler, and Bradly Nadeau lit the lamp.
Smith did not have a fighting major in this game but made a presence in front of the net. On top of his goal, he had a team high 7 hits. He was also battling in the paint which led to the goal by Nadeau late.
Kotkaniemi took a stick to the face late in the game and left the game. There was no report on his status as of this posting.
The 0-3 Canes will not practice on Saturday but will return to home ice for another tilt, this time against the Nashville Predators on Sunday night.
