Game 13: Hurricanes @ Capitals

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

The Hurricanes are on the end of a back to back and Anton Khudobin will be making an appearance in net for the first time in quite a while.

A win tonight accompanied by a Flyers and Rangers loss and the Canes will be just two points shy out of third in the division (the final playoff spot).

Peters in net for the Caps.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Dobby sharp early, keeping us in the game.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Pat Dwyer just volleyballed the puck into our own net.

Literally smacked it in with his hand...

[Mother Grabber]

spending the entire 1st in our defensive zone. this is going to get ugly, if they don't tilt the ice back the other way.

[Jakob]

18-2 SOG is quite a stat.

[Mother Grabber]

Caps have an incredibly aggressive PK. made us look like lost and confused at times, but that goal showed what happens when you keep disciplined against an aggressive opponents. eventually, it leaves one hole too many and you get a good opportunity

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Riley Nash scores.

Canes trail 2-1 after being outshot 18-3.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

It's pretty much a miracle that we're only down one.

[Mother Grabber]

lazy defense by staal, ugh

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

The Canes have scored all four goals tonight.

Every goal has gone off a Canes player.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Eric Staal makes it a one goal game with 11 minutes to go.

Caps up 3-2.

Canes have scored all 5 goals.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

And the Canes tie it...

Credited to Faulk.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

OT at the Verizon Center.

I like our chances. The Canes are now carrying the play and the Caps have Justin Peters...
