RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) --- Seth Jarvis scored midway through the third period to
complete the Carolina Hurricanes' rally from an early two-goal deficit and
force overtime against the Philadelphia Flyers in Monday night's second-round
playoff game.
Carolina is chasing a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Jarvis took a feed from Nikolaj Ehlers as the trailer and beat Dan Vladar from
the right side at the 11:21 mark to knot the score at 2-2. Ehlers had
Carolina's first goal with a first-period one-timer and the Hurricanes on the
power play.
Jamie Drysdale and Sean Couturier scored in a 39-second span of the first
period for the Flyers, whose flurry in the opening 5 minutes put Carolina in
its first deficit of the postseason.
Then Vladar spent the rest of regulation flirting with making that 2-0 margin
hold up, including twice stopping breakaways by Eric Robinson. And Travis
Sanheim came through to back up his goalie with a big second-period play,
clearing a puck that had gotten loose behind the netminder in the crease to
deny a potential tying goal.
