Your Canes just snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, y'all!
Whew, okay, Carolina Hurricanes fans, let's talk about last night. If you went to bed early after that first period, you missed a wild one. The Philadelphia Flyers came out swinging, with Joel Drysdale scoring on the power play and Sean Couturier following up less than a minute later. It was 2-0 before we could even get our collective breath back. But hey, this team? They don't quit. Nikolaj Ehlers got one back on the power play in the first, and then it was a grind. The Philadelphia Flyers played tough, but eventually, Sebastian Jarvis tied it up in the third, sending us to overtime. Then, with just over a minute left in OT, Ty Hall — who's been a force — buried the winner, making it a 3-2 final for the Carolina Hurricanes!
That comeback means the Carolina Hurricanes maintain their lead atop the Metropolitan Division with 113 points, 7-2-1 in their last ten, and a big W for the streak. You could feel the tension building in PNC Arena, right up to that final horn. The shots were 36-43, so Pyotr Kochetkov definitely earned his keep between the pipes. This team just finds ways to win, even when they're down early. It's that "Bunch of Jerks" spirit, I tell ya. This morning in Raleigh, folks are walking a little taller, probably grabbing a coffee at Jubala and still buzzing from that finish.
'Cause Chaos — from Raleigh, this is T-Man.
