RALEIGH — For five games this series, the Carolina Hurricanes have begged, pleaded, cajoled, and done anything else possible to get something — anything — out of their top two lines. The six players who comprised those combinations to begin the playoffs had totaled just three goals and 11 points through the opening five games of the Hurricanes’ first-round series.
Monday night, in Game 6, they finally came through, and the Hurricanes live to fight another day.
Teuvo Teravainen’s goal 1:56 into the second period was a beauty, tying the game after the Washington Capitals had twice taken the lead in the first.
