Jacob Slavin’s goal 3:06 won the Carolina Hurricane in overtime 2–1 on Tuesday over the host Washington Capital in Game 1 of the second round of her Stanlle Cup playoffs.
Defenseman’s first overtime playoff came on the 94th shot attempt of the goal storm (on his 33rd net). Logan Stancwen scored his third goal for Postsen and Jespery Kotakainemi set it up. Jordan Martinuk and Dimitri Oralov assisted the sports-winner.
Frederick Anderson saved 13 in his first action since leaving the second period of Carolina’s first -round series with New Jersey Devils on 27 April.
The EliakC Protas scored his first career playoff goal for Capital, with Brandon Duheim and John Carlson assisted. Meanwhile, Thompson closed 31 shots under pressure all night.
Carolina set the tone in the first period, excluding the capitals from 12–5. No one went beyond Thompson, however, only three of them came from the net. Washington also blocked 15 shot efforts during this period and 32 for the game.
Despite that control, it was the capitals who hit the first 3:52 into the second. Carlson approved Pak from Carolina Attack Zone and was capable of Duheim Spring Protas, who skated with boards and defeated the draw-out netminder on the wrist shot from the right circle.
Protas scored in his second game just in his second game after recovering from a deep cut in the April 4 game against Chicago BlackHox.
Lakshya did not change the style of playing as the storm continued the efforts of pepper shot. He had 70 through the first two periods. However, it took a turnover near the net midway of the capital through the third period, which also allowed the storm to score.
Kotkenimi was cooked after the Capital Defenseman Alexander Alexeve was lost in the left faceoff circle. Finnish Forward found Stancwen in the slot, and 22 -year -old, acquired Mico Rantene in trade two months ago, left in regulation with 10:18 on the mistake of the capitals.
Carolina created an unknown injury despite losing the center Mark Jankovski.
Janakowski, who appeared in his third game of this year’s playoffs, was on ice with the remaining 4:42 in the second period.
