It appeared that the Vegas Golden Knights were going to cruise to a victory in Game 2 but the Carolina Hurricanes had other plans as they staged a comeback, though Vegas forced the contest into overtime. Still, it was Carolina<\/a> who netted the overtime goal from Seth Jarvis<\/a> to even the series as it heads to Vegas for the next two games. <\/p>\n

Incredibly, every Game 2 Carolina has participated in this postseason went to overtime and they won each of them. This series saw the only difference in score.<\/p>\n

Vegas Golden Knights<\/p>\n

Vegas forward Brett Howden<\/a> continued his hot streak with two goals in Game 2 to bring his tally to 13 and Mark Stone<\/a> scored with under two minutes left to send the game to overtime but it wasn\u2019t enough as the series is now tied 1-1.<\/p>\n

The biggest question for Vegas is the availability of defenseman Brayden McNabb<\/a> after he took a puck to the and had to leave the building in Game 2 to get checked out at the hospital. As expected, the team has provided no clues if he\u2019s able to return tonight. Kaedan Korczak<\/a> will draw back in his place if McNabb can\u2019t go tonight.<\/p>\n

Carolina Hurricanes<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes looked sleepy for the first two periods of Game 2 but found their mojo in the third period and almost won in regulation. Alas, overtime was needed but Seth Jarvis was the hero to take the 4-3 victory even this entertaining series. There aren\u2019t any anticipated lineup changes ahead of Game 3.<\/p>\n
