The Carolina Hurricanes needed a tight overtime win to defeat the New York Rangers in Game 1 of their second round Eastern Conference playoff series. An Ian Cole overtime goal was the difference in a 2-1 victory for the Hurricanes at PNC Arena.

The Rangers need to regroup and after various overtime games will need to make sure they have what it takes to try and tie the series in Game 2. “We’ve been there, done that. We’ve got to battle back. I was really happy with our game. [Carolina] put a big push on in the third period the first 10 minutes, and we weathered that storm. But the first two periods was perfect hockey for us. I thought it was our best game of the year, I really did” was the statement issued by Rangers coach Gerard Gallant.
