Lack gets 9th career shutout, Hurricanes beat Senators 3-0
RALEIGH, N.C. — Eddie Lack spent a lot of time this season watching his Carolina Hurricanes teammates play while he dealt with concussion issues. He made the most of a rare chance to play against the Ottawa Senators.
Lack, making his sixth start of the season, stopped 34 shots for his ninth career shutout to lead the Hurricanes to a 3-0 victory over the Senators on Friday night.
Jordan Staal, Elias Lindholm and Viktor Stalberg scored, and Phillip Di Giuseppe had two assists to help Carolina snap a five-game losing streak (0-4-1) and move out of last place in the Eastern Conference.
“I thought the guys were aggressive attacking the net,” Carolina coach Bill Peters said. “We haven’t had a chance to play (Lack) much due to his injuries and everything else. We’ve got to get him going. I thought he did a great job here tonight and took advantage of his opportunity.”
