The Montreal Canadiens dropped Game 2 of the Eastern Conference final Saturday night, falling 3-2 in overtime to the Carolina Hurricanes.
The Hurricanes levelled the series at one game apiece after the Habs handed them their first loss of the postseason in the opener.
Nikolaj Ehlers scored the overtime winner for Carolina — his second goal of the game.
The series now shifts back to Montreal, where the Habs will host the Hurricanes for Game 3 at the Bell Centre on Monday.
Carolina’s Eric Robinson opened the scoring just 2:30 into the first period to give the Hurricanes an early advantage.
The Canadiens responded midway through the frame, however, when Josh Anderson found the back of the net to tie the game 1-1.
The Hurricanes reclaimed the lead for late in the second period, courtesy of Ehlers’s first goal of the game.
As the Habs push forward through the NHL playoff series, Montrealers are proving they can cheer on their favourite team from anywhere.
More to come.
