Scoring Summary

1st Period

No Goals

2nd Period

CAR Goal (7:48) – Phil Di Giuseppe (3), assisted by Joakim Nordstrom (6), Jordan Staal (8)

The Canes truck first in this one thanks to great end-to-end play. Staal won a defensive zone faceoff, and that led to a quick rush from the Canes that was capped off by a great pass from Nordstrom through the slot and a good finish by Di Giuseppe on the one-timer.
