The Carolina Hurricanes captured a topsy-turvy affair that saw them never actually trail, but also not earn victory until a Teuvo Teravainen OT winner that capped a 6-5 thriller in Buffalo.
An explosive third period saw three goals per side, and although most of the highlights were reserved for the final regulation period, both Curtis McElhinney and Linus Ullmark were peppered with quality chances for most of the night, with McElhinney stopping 31 shots and Ullmark 24. Teravainen’s night produced two goals and three points total, while former Cane Jeff Skinner notched two important third period goals for the Sabres.
