Hurricanes Scoring Up, Shots down
The Hurricanes averaged 4.8 Goals/Game in Round 2, up from 2.7 in Round 1. Though they increased scsoring by 2.1 Goals/Game, this was not necessarily a result of more shots, as they finished the 2nd round averaging 3.8 less SOG/game and 2.1 less Shot Attempts per Game. All that being said, they were only outshout 1 game (Game 3) and players up and down the lineup took their chances
