Clark Bishop’s first NHL goal helped the Carolina Hurricanes end a three-game losing streak with a 4-1 road win over the Anaheim Ducks on Dec. 7,2018.
The Carolina Hurricanes found a way to score some goals Friday.
They also found a way to win, beating the Anaheim Ducks 4-1 to end a three-game losing streak in the final game of their West Coast trip.
Clark Bishop’s first NHL goal was a big one for the Canes, tying the score 1-1 in the second period. It came on a play that ended with Bishop, the puck, Ducks defenseman Hampus Lindholm and goalie John Gibson all in the net, which was knocked off its pegs.
Brett Pesce’s third-period score gave the Canes a 2-1 lead, captain Justin Williams followed a minute later with another goal — Bishop with an assist — and Sebastian Aho sealed it with a late empty-netter. With goalie Petr Mrazek making 18 saves, it all added up to a solid team victory at the Honda Center in Anaheim.
“It was a great effort all the way up and down the lineup,” Canes coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “We’ve got a lot of guys banged up, a lot of guys that were just muscling it out.
