For 57:23 of in-game time on Saturday night, the Carolina Hurricanes kept the Minnesota Wild off the board, but it only took one for the home team to spoil Pyotr Kochetkov’s bid for 6-0-0 as an NHL goalie.
Sam Steel’s snipe with 2:37 left in the third period forced that overtime, and Alex Goligoski’s finish at the net in the extra frame led the Wild back from the brink for a 2-1 win over the scuffling Hurricanes, who have lost back-to-back games in overtime.
It was all Carolina for much of the opening frame.
