The Hurricanes and Capitals shift their second-round matchup to Raleigh with the series knotted up at one game apiece.
Carolina now boasts home-ice advantage on the heels of an overtime victory in Game 1. Jaccob Slavin played hero, burying the game-winner off a slapshot just three minutes into the extra period.
Washington rediscovered its groove in Game 2, netting a 3-1 victory. Three different players scored, including Tom Wilson, whose empty-netter sealed the deal.
Heading into Game 3, the Capitals will look for more out of Alex Ovechkin, who has been held without a goal through the first two games of the series. The league’s all-time leading goal-scorer notched four goals in Washington’s first-round series with Montreal.
