4-2 Hurricanes at 19:37 - Shane Smith (1) assisted by Miguel Marques and Logan McCutcheon // After a late Cougar power-play was cut short due to a penalty, the Hurricanes made the Cougars pay during 4 on 4 as Shane Smith tucked in his first goal of the season and first goal as a Hurricane to make it 4-2.
