GAME SUMMARY<\/a> | BOX SCORE<\/a> | BUY TICKETS<\/a><\/p>\n Two weeks to the day after Columbus’ power play served a key role in its win over the Canes in Ohio, Carolina flipped the script in this matchup, riding a pair of man-advantage markers to a 2-0 lead at the first intermission. Shayne Gostisbehere’s one-timer of a\u00a0Nikolaj Ehlers\u00a0setup opened the scoring, while\u00a0Logan Stankoven\u00a0followed 2:43 later with a quick wrister that eluded netminder Jet Greaves.<\/p>\n As expected, though, the home club responded in the latter 40 minutes. After halving the deficit going into the third, the Blue Jackets knotted things up 2:07 into the final frame to make things interesting.<\/p>\n With the clock ticking past the midway mark of the period,\u00a0Ehlers restored the Canes’ lead with a shot through traffic. A failed goaltender interference challenge then immediately put the Canes back on the power play, which bore fruit when Ehlers sent a seam pass to\u00a0Andrei Svechnikov for a one-timer and another two-goal cushion.<\/p>\n With Greaves on the bench in favor of an extra attacker for Columbus,\u00a0Jordan Martinook\u00a0sent a shorthanded shot 190 feet into the yawning cage to seal two points for Carolina in the final minute.<\/p>\n Brandon Bussi\u00a0made 23 saves on 25 shots to win his third straight start in the Canes’ cage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Carolina Hurricanes tallied three in the third period to pull away from the Columbus…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":534055,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5108],"tags":[3644,5180,897,230,5179,5,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-534054","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-columbus-blue-jackets","8":"tag-blue-jackets","9":"tag-bluejackets","10":"tag-columbus","11":"tag-columbus-blue-jackets","12":"tag-columbusbluejackets","13":"tag-hockey","14":"tag-nhl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116327570703068492","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534054","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=534054"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534054\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/534055"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=534054"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=534054"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=534054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
