02/09/2012 00:58 Perry lifts Ducks to victory in ovetime
All-Star Corey Perry scored at 2:14 of overtime to help the Anaheim Ducks beat the last-place Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 on Wednesday for their second straight victory.
02/02/2012 21:44 Hurricanes sweep series against Bruins
Cam Ward made 47 saves -- 22 in the first period and 20 in the third -- Brandon Sutter had a goal and an assist, and the Carolina Hurricanes finished their first season-sweep of the Boston Bruins with a 3-0 victory on Thursday.
Ruutu recovered nicely from his injury-shortened 2009-10 campaign, tallying a career-high 57 points last season without missing a single game. The 6-foot sparkplug really found his stride last year with the Hurricanes, and no signs point to the contrary moving forward.
