First Period


The opening period set the tone for what would be a dominant performance by the Canes. Seth Jarvis, who has been in excellent form, opened the scoring for Carolina with a well-executed play that left Anaheim's defense scrambling. The Hurricanes' aggressive approach was evident as they outshot their opponents significantly.


Second Period


In response, Anaheim managed to level things up early in the second period through Leo Carlsson, who capitalized on a rare defensive lapse by Carolina. However, this was short-lived as Sebastian Aho restored Carolina's lead with his precise shooting skills later in this segment of play. The Canes maintained pressure throughout and demonstrated superior puck control.

The final period saw Carolina extend their lead further with two more goals that sealed their victory convincingly. Alexander Nikishin added his name to the scoresheet alongside another contribution from Jarvis, whose performance earned him first-star honors of this encounter.
