On a night when the Carolina Hurricanes appeared to be down and out, it was their young stars who rallied and pulled them out of the jaws of a tough home-ice defeat.
After Mario Ferraro scored on Carolina’s empty net from the middle of his own slot, it looked like the Hurricanes were destined to see their three-game winning streak come to an end, but a quick response from offensive leader Sebastian Aho, followed by a strike from Martin Necas with just 12 seconds left in the third period, pushed the Canes to overtime.
In the extra frame, it was the 3-on-3 King himself, Necas, who ended the game and extended the Hurricanes’ winning streak to four games with their win over the San Jose Sharks.
