Jaccob Slavin's OT goal caps Carolina Hurricanes' Game 1 win

WASHINGTON -- Jaccob Slavin scored in overtime, Frederik Andersen made 13 saves in his return from injury and the Carolina Hurricanes outlasted the Washington Capitals 2-1 in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series on Tuesday night.

Logan Stankoven started the comeback with his goal midway through the third period off a turnover, beating Logan Thompson after Aliaksei Protas' errant pass off Washington teammate Alex Alexeyev's right skate put the puck on Jesperi Kotkaniemi's stick. After failing to score on a power play late in regulation, Slavin scored 3:06 into OT from just inside the blue line to give Carolina the series lead.
