Ehlers' Two-Goal Night Levels the Eastern Final as Hurricanes Take Game 2 in OT · May 23, 2026
Staring down a 1-0 series deficit following Thursday's 6-2 blowout in the opener, Carolina bounced back at Lenovo Center as Nikolaj Ehlers delivered a two-goal performance — the first a solo deke through two Montreal defenders in the second period, the second a clean rush finish off a Mark Jankowski feed 3:29 into overtime. Eric Robinson's first-period tip-in got the Hurricanes on the board, but Josh Anderson replied twice for Montreal, including the tying goal at 12:51 of the third. The series heads to Montreal tied 1-1.
