For the second time in three days, the Carolina Hurricanes watched Matthew Tkachuk score a game-winning goal in overtime as the Florida Panthers beat the Canes 2-1 in PNC Arena to grab a stranglehold on the Eastern Conference Final.
This time it was just 1:51 into the first overtime rather than in the final seconds of the fourth overtime, but the result counts just the same — after two games in Raleigh, it is Florida that has the 2-0 series lead.
For the Canes, it might be time to push the panic button.
