Hurricanes' Shayne Gostisbehere: Picks up pair of helpers

Gostisbehere notched two assists in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flyers.

Gostisbehere has six helpers over as many games in December, and three of them, including both from Saturday, have been at even strength. The 32-year-old defenseman is still best as a power-play specialist, but he has been reliable in a large role for the Hurricanes this season. He's up to 24 points (seven on the power play), 37 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 22 appearances.
