Hurricanes' Power Surge Falls Short as Devils Dance to Victory in Newark

The Carolina Hurricanes faced off against the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center, resulting in a 3-2 overtime win for the home team. The Hurricanes now hold a record of 47-30-5, while the Devils stand at 42-33-7. Despite their efforts, Carolina's power play prowess was not enough to secure a victory.

Carolina's Power Play Push

The Hurricanes demonstrated their strength on special teams with two power-play goals during regulation time. Sebastian Aho played a pivotal role by contributing one goal and one assist, showcasing his offensive capabilities. Andrei Svechnikov also made his presence felt with an assist on one of those crucial goals.

Frederik Andersen stood tall between the pipes for Carolina, making 34 saves out of 37 shots faced. His performance kept the game within reach for much of its duration. However, despite Andersen's efforts and solid contributions from players like Seth Jarvis who scored once on his only shot attempt, Carolina struggled to capitalize further during even-strength play.

Carolina managed to maintain pressure throughout regulation but found themselves unable to break through New Jersey’s defense consistently enough outside their successful power plays.
