Could the Hurricanes Finally Break Their 20-Year Curse? Rod Brind’Amour’s Bold Quest for Glory
Hurricanes Rally After Vegas Strikes First
Vegas opened the scoring in Game 5, capitalizing on an early power play. Pavel Dorofeyev beat Bussi at 6:52 of the first period to give the Golden Knights a 1-0 lead and quiet the home crowd. The goal rewarded a strong Vegas start, as they dictated the first few shifts and generated pressure off the rush.
Carolina’s response came from its veteran core. Jordan Staal tied the game 1-1 at 11:46 of the first, redirecting a feed from Nikolaj Ehlers from the high slot over Carter Hart. That goal settled the Hurricanes and shifted momentum. From there, Carolina began to tilt the ice, cycling in the offensive zone and forcing Vegas into extended defensive shifts.
