I have no idea how the Carolina Hurricanes didn’t lose this game 4-1, but they didn’t. They won this game 2-1 in overtime in their third trip to the extra frame this year. It was a game that Carolina just refused to go away from. Whether it was defensive plays keeping the puck out of the net, the penalty kill doing what it was asked, or the goaltending answering the call, they did it.
Do not make this mistake, Carolina did not deserve to escape this game with anything in hand, but when they left Calgary, it was mainly down to their ability to pull pucks off the goal line when their netminder had been beaten.
