Could the Hurricanes Finally Break Their 20-Year Curse? Rod Brind’Amour’s Bold Quest for Glory
The second period belonged to the Hurricanes’ special teams and top line. Andrei Svechnikov ripped a power-play goal from the top of the left circle at 11:58 of the second to give Carolina a 2-1 lead. Sebastian Aho added his first goal of the series at 17:51, finishing a sequence that stretched the lead to 3-1 and sent Lenovo Center into a roar.
In the third, Svechnikov struck again on the power play at 11:08, jamming in his second of the night from near the right post to make it 4-1. Dorofeyev scored his second at 13:49 to cut the deficit to 4-2, and Vegas drew a late power play with Hart pulled for an extra skater. Carolina’s penalty kill and Bussi held firm, blocking lanes and closing out the final minutes to preserve the 4-2 win.
