Hurricanes beat Lightning 3-1

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) There haven't been too many choices for the Carolina Hurricanes' best overall game of the season.

Jussi Jokinen scored the winner, and Tuomo Ruutu and Chad LaRose had goals to give Carolina its third win in its last four games. Manny Legace made 20 saves for the Hurricanes, who have earned points in their last five. (MORE)
