It marked just the seventh time in franchise history that the team won its first two games of the season, with the last time coming in 2008-09. The only three-win start in franchise history was in 1995-96, when the team won its first four games of the year. · And Introducing…: Hurricanes 2010 first-round draft pick (7th overall) Jeff Skinner,and 2008 second-round pick (45th overall) Zac Dalpe, made their NHL debuts on Oct. 7 in the team’s game in Helsinki, Finland against Minnesota. In that game, Dalpe recorded his first NHL/Hurricanes point with an assist on Anton Babchuk’s second-period goal, and Skinner followed with an assist in the teams’ second game on Oct. 8. Likewise, forward Patrick O’Sullivan made his Hurricanes debut in the Oct. 7 game. · Calder Eligible: The Hurricanes’ current roster includes five players listed as rookies and that will be eligible for the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s top first-year player. They are forwards Drayson Bowman, Zac Dalpe and Jeff Skinner; defenseman Jamie McBain; and goaltender Justin Peters. · Youth Movement: The Canes’ 20-player lineup for opening night of 2009-10 had an average age of 30.35, and a median age of 30. Carolina’s current 21-man roster has an average age of 25.48, with a median age of 26. · Just A Matter Of Time: Hurricanes captain Eric Staal did not score a goal in either of Carolina’s two games against Minnesota in Helsinki. It marks the first time since his rookie year or 2003-04, when he has not notched a goal in one of the team’s first two games of the season. Staal scored his first NHL goal in his sixth NHL game, marking the latest into a season he has found the net. · Alternates: On Sept. 30, the Hurricanes named defenseman Tim Gleason and center Brandon Sutter the team’s alternate captains for 2010-11. Gleason and Sutter join captain Eric Staalwho is entering his first full season as the team’s captain after becoming captain on Jan. 20, 2010. · Strong Finish = Strong Start?: Carolina compiled the second-most points (51) in the Eastern Conference in the second half of the 2009-10 season (Games 42-82).
