HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE
Q: What did you see tonight?
“I think our guys competed at a much higher level here today. Unfortunately, it’s still not high enough.
You’re playing against the Carolina Hurricanes, I think they set the standard, really in the league, in that
regard. So despite the fact that we competed at a higher level today that was required in the game, it’s
still not to the level necessary to be able to compete with a team like that. I like the fight of our team,
obviously we scored first. I thought we stuck with our game even thought it was difficult. I mean, that’s the
hardest game we’ve played this season by a wide margin in terms of the pressure, in terms of how
difficult it is, in terms of how little time you have with the puck. It’s a different type of game we’ve played
this season but I thought our guys were in the fight all the way through it. We just made mistakes that
resulted in us getting scored on. They didn’t make those mistakes. I thought, at times, we gave too easy
access to our net, guys getting behind our defence, and we didn’t get the same access to their net.”
Q: What was your sense of the forward lines?
“This is a tough one to really analyze that, frankly, because of how difficult Carolina made it. I thought
there was times for sure – Tavares and Mitch, especially – I thought those guys moved around pretty
well. They got some pucks off the wall. Otherwise, a lot of the game was spent on the boards here
tonight. Not a whole lot of access to the middle of the ice so tough to really assess that. It was a difficult
game but I thought the lines competed. Each line, I thought, competed. Again, it just shows we’ve got
another level that we need to get to but like I said, I thought we were a lot better in a lot of areas tonight
than we have been the last couple of games but still not to the level necessary to compete with a team
like that the way we need to.”
AUSTON MATTHEWS (ONE GOAL)
Q: You guys had the lead… what gave it away?
“I just think just little things, like little breakdowns we had and they capitalized on them. I mean, I think the
effort that we had compared to the other night in Pittsburgh was a lot better but obviously not the result
that we wanted.”
Q: You said earlier it’s not the end of the world and you’re shutting it out anyways but what do
you do next?
“We put this one behind us and we move on to Chicago. Obviously we got plenty that we can take away
from this, we played a really good team tonight. Offence is hard to come with the way that they play. Like
I said not the result that we wanted but I think there’s things that we can take from a competitive stand
point that we can move forward with positively, but obviously losing sucks. Especially when you lose a
couple in a row it’s not great feeling but obviously for us we just want to clean up some aspects of our
game and put our heads down and just keep working.”
MICHAEL BUNTING (ONE ASSISST)
Q: What were your thoughts on the game? Better effort than the Pittsburgh game?
“I thought the effort was there. We had the lead in the game and you just have to build off the positives
right now as a team. We have a great group of guys in there and we believe in ourselves and we can get
out of this rut right now.”
Q: What’s been the biggest issue over the last couple of games?
“I don’t know. I think we just have to compete. We just have to believe, we have to believe in one another
and everyone loves each other in this room, this is such a close hockey team and if any team can do this
to get out of this rut we’re in, it’s us. We all believe that in that room and we’re looking forward to the next
game.”
JUSTIN HOLL (TEAM-HIGH 4 BLOCKS)
Q: What were your thoughts on the game? Better effort than the Pittsburgh game?
“Better effort for sure. You have to give credit to them they’re a good team but obviously we expect more
out of ourselves in terms of winning hockey games. It’s always a work in progress and we’ll get back to
work tomorrow at practice and try to fix what we can and build off the effort and intensity.”
Q: What do you think is going less well to start the season for you guys?
“I think there’s a combination of factors. Obviously the Pittsburgh game you could point just at the
compete level wasn’t good enough. Other games we’re just falling a goal short here or there. Something
that Sheldon mentioned tonight was protecting the net front and something that other teams have been
doing better than we have recently so that will be something we will check out on video and try to make
improvements where we can.”
JACK CAMPBELL (32 SAVES)
Q: What were your thoughts on the game? Better effort than the Pittsburgh game?
“I thought we came out and played hard. Carolina has a great team over there. Definitely one of the top
teams in the league and I thought we stayed right with them. I just think I have the ability to make those
three saves and we get out of here with two points.”
Q: What makes them such a tough team?
“All three zones they’re great and they play fast and they have a lot of skill and they’re playing well.”

COMING IN HOT
The Hurricanes have started the season with a 4-0-0 record for the second time in three seasons (2019-20) and just the third time in franchise history
(1995-96). With a win on Monday, Carolina would tie the longest season-opening win streak in franchise history (2019-20: 5-0-0). The Hurricanes posted
a 5-1 win at CBJ (10/21) to increase their goal total to 18 through four games this season, tied for the most goals through as many games in any season
in franchise history (1985-86, 1989-90). The team’s 4.50 goals per game ranks tied with PHI for fourth in the NHL behind only STL (5.50), PIT (4.60) and
EDM (4.60).
STEADY FREDDIE
Frederik Andersen stopped 27 of 28 shots at CBJ (10/23) to earn his fourth consecutive win. He has posted a 4-0-0 record, 1.75 goals-against average
and .944 save percentage in four games in 2021-22, joining Jeff Reese (1993-94) as the second goaltender in franchise history to begin his
Whalers/Hurricanes tenure with wins in each of his first four decisions. According to NHL Stats, Andersen is the fourth goalie in league history and the
first in franchise history to win each of a team’s first four games of a season in his first season with the club. The last NHL netminder to accomplish the
feat was Martin Jones (SJS) in 2015-16. Andersen spent the past five seasons (2016-21) with TOR and looks to face the Maple Leafs on Monday, for
the first time since signing with Carolina on 7/28.
POWER TRIP
Carolina scored three power-play goals in the win at CBJ (10/23), which the team accomplished just twice in 56 games last season (1/30 vs. DAL, 3/11
vs. NSH). The Hurricanes are now 6-for-16 (37.5%) on the man-advantage this season after boasting the second-best power play in the NHL in 2020-21
(42-for-164: 25.6%). The team posted a 23-3-4 record when scoring at least one power-play goal last season and a 10-0-0 record when scoring at least
two. Sebastian Aho, Jordan Staal and Vincent Trocheck each scored on the man-advantage on Saturday after ranking tied for the team lead with
seven power-play goals apiece in 2020-21.
INVINCEABLE
Vincent Trocheck recorded a team-high three points (2g, 1a) at CBJ (10/23), including his second multi-goal game with Carolina (1/30 vs. DAL: 2g, 1a),
and he has now tallied five points (2g, 3a) in his last two games. His first goal on Saturday stood as the 13th game winner of his NHL career and his
fourth with the Hurricanes. Trocheck also registered his first two power-play points of the season (1g, 1a) after ranking tied with Sebastian Aho and
Dougie Hamilton for the team lead in that category (18) in 2020-21.
WE’RE GOING STREAKING
Sebastian Aho (1g), Andrei Svechnikov (2a) and Teuvo Teravainen (1a) each extended their point streaks to four games at CBJ (10/23). Aho has
registered six points (3g, 3a), including a team-high two power-play goals, and he is now three power-play goals away from tying Sami Kapanen for the
10th-most power-play goals in team history (since relocation). He has also won 68.2% of his faceoffs this season (30-of-44), which ranks fourth in the
NHL (min. 30 draws). Svechnikov leads the team with seven points (4g, 3a) and ranks third in the NHL with a team-high 5.25 shots on goal per game.
He also scored in each of the team’s first three games (10/14-10/21: 4g, 1a), tying the third-longest season-opening goal streak in franchise history for
the second consecutive season (1/14-1/18: 3g). Teravainen has posted six points (2g, 4a), and his four assists are tied with Tony DeAngelo for the
team lead in 2021-22. This season marks the second time in franchise history that the Whalers/Hurricanes have had three players open the season with
point streaks of four games or longer, as Nelson Emerson (3-3-6 in 5 GP), Brendan Shanahan (0-6-6 in 5 GP) and Andrew Cassels (3-3-6 in 4 GP)
accomplished the feat in 1995-96.
KEEPING IT 600
Ian Cole is looking to play his 600th career NHL game vs. TOR (10/25). Cole signed with Carolina as a free agent on 7/28 and has skated in all four
games with the team this season. Since making his NHL debut with STL on 11/6/10, Cole has registered 146 points (27g, 119a) in 599 career games
with STL, PIT, CBJ, COL, MIN and CAR. He has also tallied 24 points (1g, 23a) in 96 career NHL playoff games and won back-to-back Stanley Cups
with PIT in 2016 and 2017.
BETTER CALL STAAL
Jordan Staal earned two points (1g, 1a) at CBJ on Saturday, scoring his first goal of the season on the power play. Staal ranked tied for the team lead
with a career-high seven power-play goals in 2020-21. He recorded 38 points (16g, 22a) in 53 games last season, marking his highest scoring rate (0.72
points per game) in any season in his NHL career. The 2021-22 season marks his 10th year with the Hurricanes since being acquired from PIT on
6/22/12, and he is the seventh player in franchise history to skate in as many seasons with Carolina/Hartford.
FAST AND FURIOUS
Jesper Fast scored the Hurricanes’ opening goal at CBJ (10/23), and he now ranks tied for second on the team with three goals in four games this
season after scoring six goals in 46 games with Carolina in 2020-21. Entering this season, Fast had never scored more than one goal through the first
four games of any season in his NHL career, and when he scored a career-high 13 goals with NYR in 2017-18, his third goal of the season came in the
Rangers’ 17th game (11/22/17 at CAR

POSTGAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH GREG MOORE
On today’s game:
The first period was more of what we were looking for as a staff for the group. The second period was really tough. We had some guys that don’t kill that sat there for a long time. It was hard for them to get into the flow of the game. Back in the third, again we got into a flow, back into a rhythm. We got to use the depth of our roster and gain some momentum.
On how Toronto held back the push from Cleveland:
By our team sticking to a plan of having good structure offensively and defensively. We looked more like a group of five guys on the ice who were pulling in the same direction. And just the competitiveness of the guys being hungry to win a hockey game. The process was right today. Good to see the guys get rewarded when they do things right.
On the line of Anderson, Semyonov and Seney:
They’ve really been driving a lot for us. First and foremost, their competitiveness, how hard they work consistency. Relentless puck pressure and their ability to take away time and space and get a puck back quick, get back to offence faster. And then you couple that with how much skill they have and they’re able to make plays on the inside. They’ve really been a driving force for us to start the season.
On Joseph Woll:
He was, no pun intended, a wall back there. Made some really good saves at big key moments of the game and then to shut the door in the shootout. It’s really good to see him back and doing well. He’s come a long way these last couple of years and his work is paying off.
JOSH HO-SANG
On Joseph Woll:
Woll was absolutely stellar. He’s been itching to get in the lineup. It was his first game of the year. Credit to him. He stood on his head. He made a couple of big saves. On certain plays, we hung him out to dry a little and he said, don’t worry guys, I got you. It’s nice to see that from Woller. He’s such a great guy, great energy in the room. That’s what you need from your goalie. He picks you up when you’re down and he stands up when you need him. Both our goalies are great at doing that and that’s our expectation of him this year.
