Andrei Svechnikov opened the scoring last night with one of the most beautiful goals scored by any Carolina Hurricanes player this season. Cutting in from the wing, Svech burned past the Canadiens’ captain Shea Weber and buried a gorgeous backhand shot past Carey Price. It’s the kind of goal you could watch again, and again, and again:
That was followed by two Montreal goals, leaving the Canes 2-1 down with one to play. The team came out with jump however, with Svech burying his own rebound past Price to level the game at 2-2 with just 23 seconds on the clock in the third.
