For 55 minutes Saturday afternoon in the Prudential Center, the Carolina Hurricanes just didn’t seem to have it.
The Canes’ offense stagnated through the first two and a half periods, creating very little in the way of meaningful chances as the New Jersey Devils built up a 2-0 lead thanks to Yegor Sharangovich and Nico Hischier.
But then the tide turned for the Hurricanes, as Brady Skjei and Nino Niederreiter scored just 2:40 apart in the final five minutes of regulation to force overtime and earn Carolina at least one point in the standings.
