The Carolina Hurricanes' injury bug has taken a big bite, and they're still managing to pull off victories, such as the comeback win against the Maple Leafs when another D-man was hurt. How will this help them in the long run?

Toronto head coach Craig Berube let his frustration out, as the Maple Leafs suffer yet another loss on Sunday despite scoring five goals.

There are teams that win games, and then there are teams that make winning look like a habit. The Carolina Hurricanes are leaning hard into the latter.

A pair of injured players returned to practice Monday ahead of the Hurricanes’ first home game in two weeks, against the Vegas Golden Knights.

A familiar face is returning to the Carolina Hurricanes organization. News emerged on Saturday afternoon that the Hurricanes claimed goalie Cayden Primeau off waivers.

Both Charles-Alexis Legault and Joel Nystrom picked up their first NHL points. Legault recorded one goal and one assist, while Nystrom had an assist on the night, marking a memorable night for the two young players. “You dream of scoring one since you've been a kid, so being able to get one tonight is a great feeling,” Legault said.

Toronto led 4–2 midway through the second period but surrendered three straight goals, including the game-winner from Logan Stankoven at 12 minutes, 13 seconds of the third. The Hurricanes outshot the Leafs 22–2 in the final period and 47–20 overall.
