Capitals and even series beat Hurricanes 3-1 in Game 2 – Hockey Writer – Washington Capitals

After an exciting first game, the Carolina Hurricanes entered Game 2 with a hope to lead 2-0. However, the Washington Capitals hope to boost it before returning to Raleigh on Saturday. The last thing the capital wants is to fall 2-0 in the series and head to the road. Can a hurricane put all the pressure on the capital? After the final horn, it was the home team who actually won the second game as the Capitals beat the Hurricane 3-1, making it a 1-1 series.

Game review

Like Game 1, the Hurricane controlled the pace in the first 20 minutes of the opening period. They managed to outscort the capital by 7-5 and beat them 9-8. Jordan Staal quits favor later this period after Tom Wilson’s popularity with Jordan Martinook. He sent two-thirds of Wilson to the capital’s bench, indicating that the hurricane would not be pushed around. Additionally, the Hurricane controls ice time in the offensive zone, nearly four minutes in the Capital Zone, while the home team is in the Carolina area in less than two minutes. The capital does manage some longer areas, but for the most part, the first phase is a hurricane.

The second phase saw the capital again as the first goal of the game. It was a tough break for the Hurricane as Sean Walker hit Shayne Gostisbehere in the throat in the Neutral Zone and took him out of the game. The subsequent game saw Connor McMichael break out and beat Frederik Andersen to lead 1-0. The capital was generally the best time for the series when it beat the Hurricanes 11-4 in the second phase. 40 minutes later, the Capitals led 1-0 and beat the Hurricanes 16-11 in the game. Can history repeat itself like Game 1, with the Hurricane only entering the third stage?

The third stage was an eventful game, as there were three goals in the last 20 minutes of the game. John Carlson scored on the first goal in the third stage to steal the Hurricane to kill 100% of the fine. In the playoffs, the Hurricanes’ free throw kills are now 19 of 20. But they did retreat halfway due to the much-needed strong goal Gossibehere has. For Carolina, his second goal was a huge playoff goal, which was an attempt to get all games ahead of Thompson.

The Hurricanes beat the capital 17-7 in the third phase as they tried their best to equalize the game. They did manage to lead 28-21, but that wasn’t enough as Wilson scored a hollow net goal to make it a 3-1 game. His goal is the last nail in the coffin to secure a victory or even a 1-1 series. The Hurricane did break up in Washington, but now hopes to go home 3 and 4. Looking forward to a big Lenovo Center as Caniacs will do everything possible to promote the team at home.

Return to Raleigh to participate in Game 3

It would be a huge game as the series tied 1-1, especially for the Hurricanes’ Game 3 when they returned home at the Lenovo Center on Saturday night (May 10). Ice Drops are scheduled to be broadcast at 6 p.m. Eastern and will be broadcast on TNT. Can the Hurricanes rebound from Game 2 to regain the lead in the series? Or, will the Capitals win a game on the road and put pressure on the series? Fireworks are expected to be in Game 3 in Raleigh on Saturday.
