In Their Own Story
The ice at PNC Arena was cold under the bright lights of a late-season Tuesday. A Hurricanes forward skated deep into the zone, stickhandling past a Senators defender near the blue line. The crowd roared as the puck slid across the slot. In Ottawa, fans watched on monitors, knowing this game could shift the division standings.
