Hurricanes continue playoff push with victory over lethargic Leafs
TORONTO — The Carolina Hurricanes had everything on the line in their mad dash for a playoff spot.
The Maple Leafs didn’t — and it certainly showed.
Justin Williams and Dougie Hamilton each banked in goals from behind Toronto’s net as the Hurricanes picked up two big points in the Eastern Conference wild-card race Tuesday with a 4-1 victory over the listless Leafs.
“It’s exciting,” said Hamilton, who also added an empty netter. “We’ve been playing playoff hockey for a while now.”
