Canes squander early two goal lead and lose in overtime
The Carolina Hurricanes came out on fire in the first period and took a 2-0 lead before the 10 minute mark, but the Minnesota Wild came back to tie the contest before eventually winning, 3-2 in overtime in front of 9,511 at the PNC Arena on Thursday night.
Justin Faulk scored his sixth goal of the season, all powerplay tallies, to get things started off at 4:26 into the game. Victor Rask won the faceoff, Eric Staal got the puck to Faulk, and the NHL's leading powerplay goal-scorer did the rest with a wicked snap shot from deep.
