ATLANTA - Ray Whitney scored on a tip-in with half a second left in the third period Friday night, lifting the Hurricanes past the Thrashers 4-3, the first win of the season for the Stanley Cup champions. Cam Ward stopped 31 shots for the Hurricanes, who were off to an 0-3-1 start. An overtime seemed inevitable until Whitney's first goal of the season in the final second. Whitney tipped in a shot by Eric Staal. Craig Adams scored two goals for Carolina. Carolina was 0-for-5 on the power play, and Atlanta was 0-for-4.
