CALGARY -- Scott Darling made 25 saves, and Jeff Skinner had a goal and an assist to help the Carolina Hurricanes to a 2-1 win against the Calgary Flames at Scotiabank Saddledome on Thursday.
"I'm still amazed at how hard our team skates," said Darling, who signed a four-year contract May 5 after being acquired in a trade from the Chicago Blackhawks on April 28. "Nothing less is acceptable and the guys know that. If you don't play like that you're not going to play. Every guy here plays like that.
"It's a lot of fun to watch and a lot of fun to be a part of."
