Dougie Hamilton Makes Hurricanes History With Another Assist
4 years agoCarolina Hurricanes defenseman Dougie Hamilton had a goal and an assist in Thursday's 5-1 win over Nashville, extending his assist streak to seven games. It marks the longest assist streak by a Hurricanes defenseman since the franchise moved to Raleigh. Hamilton was on his way to a huge year in 2019-20 before an injury ruined his campaign, but he's making up for it this season with 20 points through 26 games. He's added 77 shots, 29 blocks, and 23 hits with a plus-eight rating. Hamilton looks to continue the success in a very favorable matchup against a Detroit team that allows 3.39 goals per game and manages to kill of just 70.7 percent of penalties.
