Canes Corner

The Carolina Hurricanes needed a bounce-back effort after Friday's loss to the Islanders. And, they could use some confidence heading into Tuesday's Metro showdown with the Rangers in New York. Jordan Staal, saw to it that those goals would be met. The Captain scored three times, ringing up his first hat trick in almost 10 years -- and the first for the Hurricanes this season -- in a 5-2 win over the Ducks. The Canes head to Madison Square Garden with a 2-point lead over the Rangers with 9 games left to play. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
