Every meeting between the Carolina Hurricanes and Pittsburgh Penguins this season have been one-goal games and tonight was no different, as for the second time in their three meetings, it went to overtime.
However, yet again, it was Carolina coming out ahead, as Jaccob Slavin was the OT hero.
The win propels the Hurricanes further up the Metropolitan Division standings with a seventh-straight win and points in 13 straight.
The Penguins jumped out to the initial lead late in the first period as Sidney Crosby popped in a loose rebound on the power play, but the Hurricanes used that to fuel a quick push back.
