Being 0-for-4 already on the man-up advantage, it seemed like the Canes were due — almost destined to send the game to overtime with a 6-on-4 advantage.
New York Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren, left wing Jimmy Vesey and others celebrate following center Mika Zibanejad’s goal against the Carolina Hurricanes during the first period in Game 1 of an NHL hockey Stanley Cup second-round playoff series, Sunday, May 5, 2024, in New York. With 41 seconds left in regulation, Vincent Trochek took a delay of game penalty while the Carolina Hurricanes already had their net empty trailing by a goal.
“I thought we started the right way,” Laviolette said. “I thought it was pretty consistent, the way we played, Mika obviously had a huge night.” The alternate captain for the Blueshirts set the tone early, putting the first goal of the series on the board less than three minutes into the opening period. He then proceeded to dominate the power play, scoring another and providing the helper across both man advantages.
