Game one of the Eastern Conference final goes tonight in North Carolina against a power Hurricanes team which has yet to lose a game, having disposed of Ottawa and Philadelphia in four straight.
Alex’s mom, Paula Newhook, says he has bounced back to lead the team in scoring this postseason after missing a couple of months on the injured list.
The winner of this series takes on the winner of Vegas and Colorado in the final.
