RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The Carolina Hurricanes had finally beaten a red-hot goaltender for an overtime winner in the NHL playoffs, until a replay review overturned the score.

Amid the frustrated jeers of an infuriated home crowd, the Hurricanes now had to regroup and continue the grinding fight of a postseason game that appeared over only moments earlier. And that led to forward Jordan Martinook immediately standing at center ice with another chance to end it as he waited to take a penalty shot — a rarity in OT during the playoffs.
