About this episode

The Carolina Hurricanes secured their fifth overtime win of the playoffs against the Montreal Canadiens, winning 3-2.

For the second straight game, the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Montreal Canadiens, 3-2, in overtime.  It was the 5th overtime win of the playoffs for Carolina and all five have ended with the Hurricanes winning 3-2.  The Canes stretch their playoff overtime winning streak to 7 in a row.  For the 3rd straight game in this series Carolina scored the opening goal.  Shayne Gostisbehere's 1st of the postseason opened the account with a rebound of a Mark Jankowski shot.  Then, 54 seconds after Mike Matheson tied the game, Taylor Hall's 4th of the playoffs restored Carolina to the lead.  Alas, as it was on Saturday in Raleigh, Carolina failed to skate that lead to the house and went to overtime.  Andrei Svechnikov gets the game winning goal, just his second goal of the playoffs.  The Hurricanes can stretch the lead to 3 games to 1 on Wednesday.
