The Carolina Hurricanes came back in similar fashion like in the playoffs last season and left Capital One Arena with a 3-2 overtime win. In a game that seemed like the Washington Capitals would cruise to another win to improve to 3-0, the Hurricanes rallied to stun the crowd.
Saturday night provided a great atmosphere in the District. Fans were given glowsticks to help light up the pregame festivities and their new videoboard above center ice is beyond state of the art.
Other additions included a ribbon LED lighting that wrapped around the top of the arena above the upper deck.
