| got home from a workout Travis Konecny Jersey , turned on the TV to watch the NHL draft and saw his name on the screen as part of a trade to the Carolina Hurricanes.”That’s where I found out,” Hamilton said.He might want to stay tuned because the Hurricanes are just getting started.Carolina acquired Hamilton, winger Micheal Ferland and forward prospect Adam Fox from the Calgary Flames on Saturday for center Elias Lindholm and defenseman Noah Hanifin in the latest move during a time of drastic turnover. The Hurricanes, who have missed the playoffs each of the past nine seasons, have gotten a new owner, general manager and coach so far this year and will have a very different team on the ice.”When you’ve gone as long as we have without making the playoffs the message is we want to be better, we want to compete and we want to win,” GM Don Waddell said. ”We have a lot of other possibilities, pieces to move around. We wanted to acquire the best players we could and let the rest shake out as we move forward.”Waddell started shaking up the roster by shipping out two pending restricted free agents in Lindholm and Hanifin and added a right-shot defender in Hamilton who could make co-captain Justin Faulk expendable. The Hurricanes should trade for a goaltender and could move Faulk and winger Jeff Skinner soon.”We’ll stay busy,” Waddell said. ”I can’t say for sure anything will get done. I’m pretty confident something will get done Adam Cracknell Jersey Womens , whether it’s in the next few days or next 10 days.”The 25-year-old Hamilton now has been traded at the draft twice after going from the Boston Bruins to the Flames three years ago. Waddell said there were ”no red flags” about Hamilton because of that and was thrilled to pick up an offensive-minded blue liner who has 220 points in 423 regular-season games.Hamilton figures being traded is easier this time.”It’s definitely a learning experience, something that helps you grow,” Hamilton said on a conference call. ”You have to go through different experiences and stuff and I think you get growth from that.”The Hurricanes have gone through some growing pains over the past few months. Tom Dundon bought the team from Peter Karmanos Jr. removed Ron Francis as general manager and replaced him with Waddell and promoted assistant Rod Brind’Amour to head coach.This trade changes Brind’Amour’s mix as Carolina looks to end the league’s longest playoff drought. Ferland gives the Hurricanes a big winger who can produce after putting up a career-high 41 points last season with Calgary.”We talked all along that we feel like we’ve got a lot of skill pieces up front and we need a little size and muscle up front, so Ferland, who scored 20 or 21 goals last year, fit that bill pretty well for us,” Waddell said.Giving up the 21-year-old Hanifin and 23-year-old Lindholm was a heavy price to pay for the Hurricanes. Hanifin was the fifth overall pick in 2015 and joins an already deep blue line that includes Mark Giordano and T.J. Brodie.Hanifin and Lindholm are reunited in Calgary with coach Bill Peters, who stepped down from the Hurricanes at the end of the season amid uncertainty within the front office.”Obviously Bill spoke very highly of both players and really likes both players,” Flames GM Brad Treliving said. ”Both guys are great character. He liked both players. It was a great resource to have.”—This story has been corrected to show that Micheal Ferland had 41, not 78 Wayne Simmonds Jersey , points last season.— LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Vancouver Canucks entered Saturday’s game with an eight-game losing streak. The Los Angeles Kings entered with the worst record in the NHL.Something had to give between the struggling teams.Canucks rookie Elias Pettersson was the difference.Pettersson stole a poor Los Angeles pass, went in on a breakaway and wasted no time snapping in a shot for the go-ahead goal as Vancouver end its skid with a 4-2 win over the Kings.“It feels good, anytime you’re up against it on a streak like that,” Canucks coach Travis Green said. “As good as it feels when you’re winning, it’s worse when you’re losing.”The Kings (7-14-1) have known more losing than any team in the NHL. They are also the worst scoring team in the league.“That was a game we played OK, but not good enough to get the win,” Kings interim coach Willie Desjardins said.Vancouver opened the scoring in the second period on Adam Gaudette’s first career goal. He took a nice feed from Jake Virtanen and fired it past Kings goalie Cal Petersen.“It feels good to get that monkey off my back,” Gaudette said. “It all seemed to happen pretty fast. I couldn’t process it at first.”The Kings answered with the kind of goal they had not seen in some time. Los Angeles ended an 0-for-16 streak on the power play when Drew Doughty drilled a shot through traffic and off Vancouver’s Christopher Tanev for his second goal of the season.“It was good to see we got one on the power play,” Desjardins said. “I think our power play is going to come back.”The Canucks went back up 2-1 with a power-play goal of their own on some bang-bang passing. Pettersson snapped a short pass to Bo Horvat just outside the net. Horvat deflected it to Sam Gagner 6 feet outside the crease. Gagner fired in the puck for his first goal of the season.“A great play all the way around,” Green said. “A good one-touch pass.”The Kings managed to tie it at 2-2 when Matt Luff broke free on a breakaway. Luff faked a backhand to pull Vancouver goalie Jacob Markstrom out and then snapped in the shot behind him. It was his third goal of the season.“That was good to see Womens Bryan Rust Jersey ,” Desjardins said. “He’s a good young player. He has some size and some speed. He made a great move on that goal.”It was left to Pettersson to snap the tie and finally end the drought for Vancouver.The rookie charged over the red line to steal an ill-conceived pass from the Kings’ Dion Phaneuf.“That is probably one he’d like to have back,” Desjardins said.Free on a breakaway, Pettersson charged at Petersen and fired it in for his 13th goal of the season.“I like his game tonight,” Green said. “It was a grinding game. All these games, you have to just wait and stick to the plan. You can’t try to cheat to score. He was the right guy.”The Kings had a final power-play opportunity in the last 3 minutes and pulled Petersen in its final minute for a two-man advantage, but Tyler Motte connected on an empty-net goal to secure the win and end the Vancouver skid.“Our killers have been feeling the heat,” Green said. “It’s no secret we’ve been getting scored on. To get the kill at the end was nice for those guys.”NOTESLuff’s three goals have come in consecutive game, the longest scoring streak of the season for the Kings. . Pettersson leads all rookies in goals scored. . Virtanen on assisting Gaudette’s first career goal: “You always like to see a player get their first goal and be a part of it. As soon as he touched the puck, I knew. I actually didn’t know it was him. I just saw one of our guys going back door. I was going to shoot it.”UP NEXTCanucks: Switch roles and play host to the Kings on Tuesday.Kings: Complete a three-game homestand Sunday against Edmonton. |
