First and foremost, this series is far from over. The Carolina Hurricanes will not go down without a fight to the bitter end. Game 2, similar to Game 1, did not start well. The Hurricanes found themselves down two early with tallies from Nicklas Backstrom and TJ Oshie.
Backstrom with a sick feed from Washington’s captain, Alexander Ovechkin and TJ Oshie with a highlight reel goal that trended on Twitter because of a stick-lift with his leg that allowed him to cut the net and backhand it in.
At the end of the first period, the Hurricanes started playing more into battling for the puck on the boards and forcing turnovers in the Capitals zone, this did wonders for them.
