Just when it appeared the Carolina Hurricanes had found a way to pull out a gutty comeback win, the New Jersey Devils denied them.
The Devils won 3-2 on Taylor Hall’s goal with 22.7 seconds left in overtime.
Jeff Skinner’s goal with 1:18 left in regulation forced a 2-2 tie after the Canes pulled goalie Cam Ward for a sixth attacker and had PNC Arena roaring.
Defenseman Brett Pesce did a good job keeping the puck in the offensive zone at the blue line, then passed to Jaccob Slavin at the left point. The defenseman put a shot on net and Skinner was lurking at the post, knocking the loose puck past goalie Keith Kinkaid.
