Pittsburgh, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Jiri Tlusty recorded two goals and an assist as the Carolina Hurricanes came through with a 4-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins in the opener of a home-and-home series. Nathan Gerbe snapped a 2-2 tie with a power-play score early in the third period that helped the Hurricanes halt a three-game skid and deal the powerful Penguins just their third regulation defeat in their last 16 outings. Carolina entered the matchup an NHL-worst 2-9-2 on the road this season. Patrick Dwyer added a goal to support a 20-save effort from Hurricanes goaltender Cam Ward. Pittsburgh, which was outshot by a 35-22 margin, received goals from Kris Letang and Patric Hornqvist. Sidney Crosby assisted on both markers, with Marc-Andre Fleury stopping 31-of-34 chances in defeat. We just didnt play well, Crosby said. (The Hurricanes) work hard. They pressure the puck and they just out-battled us, but they did the right things and we didnt play well at all. After outplaying the Penguins through two periods but still mired in a 2-2 deadlock, the Hurricanes capitalized on a goaltender interference penalty to Crosby to regain the upper hand. Elias Lindholm hit Gerbe in the left circle with a pass across the width of the ice, and the diminutive wing fired a shot through Fleurys pads 3:10 into the frame. The Hurricanes maintained the lead as Pittsburgh barely tested Ward the rest of the way, with Tlusty sealing the outcome on an empty-net goal with 12.4 seconds left. We were able to control our gaps and prevent them from getting in the neutral zone and it seemed to (get to) them a little bit, said Ward. Carolina struck first near the end of an opening period in which they racked up 17 shots, with Tlustys bad-angle attempt from the left boards caroming off the leg of Pittsburghs Olli Maatta and trickling by Fleury just under 16 minutes in. The Penguins answered a mere 43 seconds later, however, when Letang swooped in to poke a rebound of Nick Spalings wrister into an open left side. Carolina regained the upper hand early in the second, as a Pittsburgh turnover near center ice led to Dwyer beating Fleury glove-side with 2:54 elapsed in the stanza. Pittsburgh again had a response, however, as Hornqvist took in a drop pass from Crosby in transition and rocketed the puck by Ward 4:08 prior to the second intermission.

And he doesnt remember anything about it.Gidley said Saturday during the Rolex 24 at Daytona that he has watched the replay numerous times and feels as if somebody else was driving.The accident itself, I feel sorry for who was in the car, he told Fox Sports. It just happened to be me.Gidley was injured roughly three hours into the endurance race and spent 10 days at nearby Halifax Health recovering from a broken left leg, broken left elbow, broken left heel and a compression fracture in his lower back. He has been rehabbing in Northern California, working to get back on the track.Im very hungry, he said. Its been a year and Im watching the race on TV now. Its really such a great memory. We all know when were doing things you have higher chance of an injury. Thats part of it. But I definitely want to get back out there, but No. 1 is to get back to 100 per cent strong or nearly 100 per cent strong before I can make that happen.Gidley was driving the pole-winning car into an infield kink and facing directly into the setting sun when the crash occurred. As Gidley tried to pass a slower car, he pulled to the left and didnt see Matteo Malucelli off the pace.dddddddddddd He drove directly into Malucellis Ferrari at nearly full speed.Gidley had to be cut out of the No. 99 Corvette, which crumpled during the high-speed impact.Although Gidley cant recall the accident, he understands why people would think the setting sun may have been a factor in the crash.It does look like something that would have, maybe in a way, (caused the wreck), he said. It wasnt like there were five or six cars around me. There was only one car ahead of me, and he darted to the right, and I darted to the left, which was the standard procedure. But I never saw that car there. So yeah, maybe the sun definitely had some sort of impact.Bob Stallings Racing, which fielded Gidleys car nicknamed the Red Dragon, shuttered operations in the United SportsCar Championship.The Stallings team is scheduled to return to the track in the Pirelli World Challenges GTS class. The new Red Dragon will debut in March at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. Gidleys former teammate Jon Fogarty will be behind the wheel.Gidley, meanwhile, plans to drive again. Hes just not sure when it will happen.The biggest thing is just time, he said. The No. 1 thing is your body is a miracle thing. With time, it figures out how to get back.
