Hurricanes' Justin Williams: Struggling to score
Justin Williams extended his pointless streak to four games Saturday against the Golden Knights, finishing the game with a minus-3 rating and 14:54 of ice time.Williams was strong out of the gate in his return from a three-month absence, scoring three points in his first three games back in the lineup.
