After winning Game 7 last night, the Carolina Hurricanes will be taking on the New York Islanders in the second round of the playoffs. The Hurricanes were able to complete the comeback and win in double overtime.
Honestly, last night was the perfect scenario for the Islanders. The series went to a seventh game, tiring both teams out, and then double overtime in that decisive game. It’s a quick turnaround for the Hurricanes now after a grueling first-round series.
With the Capitals loss, all four first-round seeds have been eliminated from the playoffs. Playoff hockey remains undefeated, nobody could have predicted that.
