Andrei Svechnikov scored a power-play goal against Dan Vladar in Game 2, cutting the Philadelphia Flyers’ lead to 1-3 before the Carolina Hurricanes finished off a 3-2 overtime win.
The goal gave Carolina a late push in a game the Hurricanes had to have after blanking the Flyers 3-0 in Game 1 of their second-round series. Svechnikov’s finish came on the power play and turned a lopsided score into a manageable one, helping keep Carolina alive long enough to force overtime and take the win.
That matters because the series had already opened with a shutout, and Game 2 threatened to tilt in Philadelphia’s favor before Carolina answered. Dan Vladar was in net for the Flyers on the play, and the Hurricanes used the goal to stay within reach in a postseason matchup that had already turned tight and physical.
The larger picture from NHL.com’s postseason coverage is straightforward: Carolina found a way to get back into the game and protect its edge when it counted. The same game page links to other scoring plays and broader series coverage, but the result is the part that will travel — the Hurricanes moved on from a 1-3 hole to a 3-2 overtime win and left the series poised for another swing.
