RALEIGH, N.C. — It’s always a special night for Cam Ward when he steps into the crease against the Edmonton Oilers.
And Ward stood tall for the Carolina Hurricanes against his hometown team Friday night.
The Sherwood Park, Alberta, native stopped 24 shots in a tight contest as the Hurricanes held on for a 2-1 victory.
Sebastian Aho scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period. Jordan Staal had a goal in the first period for Carolina, which split the season series. Edmonton won the other meeting, 3-2 at home on Oct. 18.
