Overview
- The Hurricanes rallied from a 2-0 deficit in the third period to beat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 in overtime Thursday when Seth Jarvis scored on a power-play one-timer.
- The NHL said the on-ice no-goal call on Ivan Barbashev was ruled goaltender interference, a decision that led to a delay-of-game penalty and a Carolina power play.
- Jordan Staal redirected a point shot on that power play to give Carolina the lead late in the third before Mark Stone tied the game with 1:21 remaining.
- Brett Howden scored twice for Vegas to open a 2-0 lead and raised his postseason total to 13 goals, while defenseman Brayden McNabb left after taking a slap shot to the face and went to a hospital for evaluation.
- With the series tied 1-1, Game 3 is Saturday in Las Vegas and the matchup will hinge on special teams, goaltending performances and coaching adjustments on both benches.
