Overview

  • Carolina completed a third-period rally and won 4-3 in overtime on Thursday when Seth Jarvis scored a one-timer 3:56 into extra time on the power play.
  • The power play followed an on-ice ruling that Ivan Barbashev’s puck did not count for goaltender interference and an unsuccessful John Tortorella challenge that drew a minor penalty.
  • NHL director of officiating Stephen Walkom reiterated that officials judged the play to be goaltender interference, and the failed challenge directly created the Hurricanes’ go-ahead man-advantage.
  • Vegas forward Brett Howden scored twice to extend his playoff total to 13 goals, and defenseman Brayden McNabb left after being struck in the face by a puck and was taken for hospital evaluation.
  • The series is now tied 1-1 and shifts to T-Mobile Arena for Game 3 on Saturday, with special teams, goaltending and McNabb’s availability likely to shape momentum going forward.
