What a game in Raleigh Thursday night.
The Carolina Hurricanes trailed the Vegas Golden Knights by two goals heading into the third period — looking overmatched and staring down an 0-2 series deficit on home ice. Then everything changed.
Carolina rattled off three unanswered goals in just over five minutes to take a 3-2 lead — only to give up a late tying goal that forced overtime. Then came the moment Raleigh had been waiting for.
Jarvis blasted a one-timer on the power play three minutes and fifty-six seconds into overtime to lift the Hurricanes 4-3 — evening the Stanley Cup Final at one game apiece.
It was a breakthrough moment for Jarvis, who had scored just three times in the playoffs heading into the night, and a long-awaited spark for a Carolina power play that had struggled all postseason.
Both teams finished with twenty-six shots on goal. The Hurricanes out-hit the Golden Knights forty-six to twenty-five in a physical, grinding affair.
The series now shifts west — Game 3 is Saturday night in Las Vegas at eight o’clock Eastern on ABC. Series tied — one game apiece.
