The Carolina Hurricanes kept coming from behind all game long but finally took the lead when it counted after Nathan Gerbe roofed a perfect shot past Justin Peters during the shootout to give his team a 4-3 win over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night at the PNC Arena.
The win gives the Canes a 3-2 preseason record with one more game to play on Friday night against the Penguins.
Alex Ovechkin opened the scoring for the visitors just 20 seconds into the game when he got past the Carolina defense and beat Eddie Lack, who said he was fighting the game a bit to start off.
