But the fun didn't start until the postgame Storm Surge.
After the 5-2 victory, the Hurricanes brought Holyfield out to center ice, boxing gloves on. The legend squared off with forward Jordan Martinook, who was also wearing boxing gloves.
A quick left "punch" from Holyfield (which of course never made contact, it's all a show, folks) put Martinook on his back.
Stormy, the team's mascot counted Martinook out.
After the team converged on Holyfield to raise his arm in victory, Martinook stayed down and was playfully dragged off the ice by teammates Micheal Ferland and Justin Williams.
Holyfield, a native of Atlanta, wore "4X" on the back of his jersey and walked off the ice to double glove bumps from players and fans.
