Hurricanes Blow Late Lead, Recover in Overtime for Win

After finally getting back in the win column on Saturday, the Carolina Hurricanes looked to make it two in a row on Tuesday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Hurricanes failed to hold onto a late 2-1 lead, but they managed to salvage an overtime win to kick off their six-game road trip.

Derek Stepan drew an early hooking penalty on Jake Guentzel and gifted the Hurricanes with an early power play opportunity. Unfortunately, their power play magic from Saturday didn’t make an appearance.

Just a few moments of 5-on-5 play later, the Penguins got on the board.
