Only four teams in NHL playoff history have lost the first three games of a series and recovered to win, and Canes would like to be the fifth.
“That was kind of a second life we got there,” Hurricanes forward Sebastian Aho said. Chris Kreider and Lafreniere scored, and Igor Shesterkin made 45 saves for the Rangers, who are the No. 1 seed from the Metropolitan Division and are 7-0 in the playoffs. “It's unfortunate they pull the goaltender, you're a minute and a half away from walking away from it,” New York coach Peter Laviolette said. Jake Guentzel scored for the Hurricanes, who are the No. 2 seed from the Metropolitan Division, and Kochetkov made 22 saves in his first game of the playoffs.
The New York Rangers erased an early deficit to take momentum, only to squander their own lead late with a huge postseason road victory only minutes away. It didn't prevent them from staying unbeaten in the NHL playoffs with a second straight overtime win, and inching closer to the Eastern Conference Final. Artemi Panarin redirected a pass between his legs at the crease to beat Pyotr Kochetkov just 1:43 into OT and the Rangers beat the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 on Thursday night to take a 3-0 lead in the second-round series.
