Final
Tortorella looks for historic win against rival Hurricanes
Mar 1, 2008 - 1:50 PM Tampa Bay (26-31-7) at Carolina (33-29-5) 7:00 pm ESTRALEIGH, North Carolina (Ticker) - John Tortorella is one win away from becoming the winningest American-born coach in NHL history.
Tortorella will seek this milestone achievement on Saturday when the Tampa Bay Lightning visit the Carolina Hurricanes in a Southeast Division battle.
Dan Boyle became the franchise's all-time leader in goals by a defenseman when he scored the overtime game-winner in Friday's 3-2 triumph over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Boyle also had two assists in the win, which tied Tortorella with Bob Johnson at 234 career victories.
Hurricanes coach Peter Laviolette is second - behind Tortorella - among active American-born coaches with 222 career wins.
Carolina had a three-game winning streak snapped Thursday when they suffered a 4-2 loss to the New York Rangers. Eric Cole, who has 40 points on the campaign, scored both goals for the Hurricanes in that one.
Despite a minus-14 goal differential and the league's worst penalty kill (76.7 percent), Carolina still holds a three-point advantage over the Washington Capitals in the division.
