TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. - The Carolina Hurricanes earned their second win in as many days at the NHL Prospects Tournament in Traverse City, blanking the New York Rangers 4-0.
Jeremy Helvig posted a 19-save shutout, and Hudson Elynuik chipped in two goals as the Canes remain perfect through two-thirds of their round-robin slate.
"When you're winning it's fun to play hockey. They're getting along great," head coach Mike Vellucci said. "There's a lot of talent and skill, and when you win it makes it a lot more fun."
"The team played great defensively. They didn't give up a lot of grade-A chances, and it made my day pretty easy," Helvig said. "It was really good to play in my first Traverse City game, playing with all these future pros."
