Hurricanes Exorcise Devils In Double Overtime, Advance To Second RoundThe Carolina Hurricanes became the first team to advance to the second round of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, thanks to a Sebastian Aho double overtime winner.
The Canes eliminated the New Jersey Devils in five games, completing the deed in a 5-4 double overtime thriller Tuesday night at Lenovo Center.
It wasn’t the easiest win in the world, as Carolina had to overcome a 3-0 deficit to force overtime in the first place, but once they got there, they weren’t going to be denied.
“I give the guys so much credit because there’s not many games that even when we don’t play well, that we don’t get back into a game,” said Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour. “We find a way and that’s what happened tonight.”
