Nikishin gets a roughing (for a clean hit), but Carolina will come out of it with a PP

The Hurricanes really needed to get this game to 5v5, and once they did, they started scoring. 3-1 after two.

Shots are 33-17, 5v5 SA are 50-18, both heavily favoring Carolina.

Carrier scores after Nikishin shoveled a puck off the post.

2-1

I'd think Martinook will get a secondary assist on that
