Hurricanes 2, Predators 0

RALEIGH — Ray Whitney scored off a rebound of a Patrick Eaves shot at 7:19 of the third period, and Eric Staal added an empty-netter in the final seconds to give the
Hurricanes a 2-0 victory Sunday over Nashville.

Cam Ward notched a shutout in goal as the Canes finished their preseason schedule 3-3 after losing the first three exhibition games.

''It's a nice way to end the exhibition season, obviously,'' Ward said. ''It was nice to get in a full game and have things go well."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Some rapid-fire scoring staked the Hurricanes to an early lead at the Sommet Center, but the Nashville Predators didn't get floored by Carolina's big early punch.

Barely three minutes into the game, the Canes led 2-0 on goals by Brandon Sutter and Ryan Bayda. Eric Staal added a power-play goal early in the second period for a 3-0 lead, and the Hurricanes held on for a 4-2 win.
