RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) --- Nikolaj Ehlers got loose up the center of the ice and
popped the puck past Jakub Dobes at 3:29 of overtime to lift the Carolina
Hurricanes past the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 on Saturday night to level the
Eastern Conference Final at one game apiece.
Ehlers scored twice for the Eastern Conference's top seed, the first with a
highlight-reel individual effort in the second period against two Montreal
defenders.
And when the game went to OT, the guy the Hurricanes landed as a sought-after
free agent carried them to the finish line.
Eric Robinson also scored for Carolina, while Josh Anderson scored twice for
Montreal.
The series shifts to Canada for Monday's Game 3.
