Follow me on Twitter: @BenShelley_20 Follow HockeyBuzz Hurricanes on Twitter: @HB_Canes The Carolina Hurricanes split their back-to-back set of games this weekend, beating the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday, before losing to the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday. With Carolina’s 3-1 win over the Oilers, they improved to 3-0-0 on their road trip and earned their fourth win in a row. Sebastian Aho opened the scoring in the first period, while Nino Niederreiter managed to sneak a puck through Mikko Koskinen in the second frame. Though the Oilers were able to pull back within a goal, the Hurricanes secured the win late in the third period, as Aho picked up his second goal of the game off a costly turnover from Koskinen. It was a great effort from the Hurricanes, who outshot the Oilers 31-23, though Frederik Andersen did make some key saves. It was also great to see Ethan Bear get such a warm reception in his return to Edmonton. Against the Canucks, however, the Hurricanes came up short.
