Carolina Hurricanes win their first outdoor game

The Habs overpowered the Capitals on a very special night for the franchise and its fans.

The team wanted to put on a good show for the almost 57,000 fans that were in attendance, and they did. They comfortably won against the Capitals, who were missing captain Alex Ovechkin, whose father recently passed away.

Jesperi Kothakaniemi scored the first goal for the Hurricanes just two minutes into the game. Paul Stastny made it 2-0 for the home team after tipping in a rebound from Jalen Chatfield's shot.

Martin Necas scored the third for the Hurricanes, ripping a shot from distance, which blazed past the Capitals' defense. It was the best goal of the night.

Teuva Teravainen secured the victory by scoring the fourth of the night after receiving a beautiful pass from Martin Necas in front of goal to make it 4-0. Tom Wilson got one back for the Capitals midway through the third period, but it was too late for them to make a comeback.

Martin Necas ended the game with three points from one goal and two assists, bringing his tally to 48 points in the 2022-23 NHL season.
