After 91 minutes of hockey, the Carolina Hurricanes finally put a dagger into the Washington Capitals‘ season.
Brock McGinn scored the double-overtime winner and the Hurricanes took Game 7 4-3 Wednesday at Capital One Arena, knocking the defending champions out of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
McGinn’s series-deciding goal came 11:05 into the second overtime against a Capitals team that had looked gassed for hours, and whose top-flight goaltender couldn’t keep carrying his teammates on his back.
Andre Burakovsky, Tom Wilson and Evgeny Kuznetsov scored, and Braden Holtby made 38 saves for Washington.
