Canes even series thanks to Ehlers OT heroics

About this episode

The episode discusses the Canes' overtime victory against the Canadiens, highlighting key player performances and the series status.

Nikolaj Ehlers scored twice, including the game-winner in overtime, as the Canes beat the Canadiens, 3-2.  The Eastern Conference Finals are now even at 1-1 as the series heads to Montreal for Games 3 and 4, Monday and Wednesday.  Eric Robinson scored early in the first period to give the Hurricanes the early lead for the second straight game.  This time, however, Carolina wasn't a defensive mess, though a Taylor Hall turnover did lead to the tying goal -- the first of two by Josh Anderson.  Speaking of Andersen, Freddie only had to make 10 saves, but he looked like the best version of himself in picking up his 9th win in 10 playoff starts.  The 4th line with Mark Jankowski, William Carrier and Robinson were fantastic in the game and the Jordan Staal line held Montreal's best in check all night long.  Joined by Spectrum News sports anchor Mike Solarte to discuss.   This is sponsored by the Aluminum Company of North Carolina.  aluminumcompany.com
