Aucoin Sent Down to Lowell
January 27, 2006
Yesterday Keith Aucoin was sent back down to Lowell. He had a poor showing Wednesday night and was on ice for all three Panthers goals. But so was Eric Staal 
What impressed me most about Aucoin’s two games was that he was not afraid to get in front of the net or fight for the puck in the corners. If he keeps playing hard working, fearless hockey he’ll be back soon.
Here’s some more local coverage of Aucoin’s first game.
Aucoin recorded his first NHL point when one of his linemates, Erik Cole, snapped in Aucoin’s rebound for Carolina’s final goal.
“I don’t know if you were watching on TV, but I couldn’t take the smile off my face,” Aucoin told The Sun after signing 20 or so autographs following the game. “It was a long day. I couldn’t wait to get the first shift out of the way. It was a childhood dream. It was a great experience.”
Aucoin, called up from the Lowell Lock Monsters of the AHL, was stunned to find himself on Carolina’s top line with Cole and Eric Staal, a former Lock Monsters star who has 31 goals this season for the Hurricanes.
