Logan Stankoven scored twice in the second period as the Hurricanes raced out to a 3-0 lead en route to a 4-1 win over the Devils. Carolina takes Game 1 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with Game 2 set for Tuesday in Raleigh. Carolina won the special teams battle, scoring once on the power play but also shutting the Devils down when New Jersey had the man advantage. The Canes also saw strong performances up and down the lineup during a physical game. Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis combined for 9 hits. Andrei Svechnikov played a very heavy game and Eric Robinson and William Carrier combined for 13 hits in the game. Jalen Chatfield opened the scoring less than 2 1/2 minutes into the game. Stankoven scored about 6 1/2 minutes apart in the 2nd. Svechnikov scored into an empty net late in the 3rd. Frederik Andersen made 23 saves and was very steady throughout.

I'm gonna start counting the numbers of times that you say Blakes name every podcast because you are obsessed with your love child 😂
Great game by the Canes to start the playoffs.
2nd goal by Stanhoven was insane
I didn’t think Svech did anything today. I felt bad for Hall having to play with 82 and 37 as they go into their annual spring time disappearing act.
so the late period meltdowns are not just a theory……we gotta cure that..
It was a fun game! Can't wait to be there again Tuesday!
Me for the last 3 weeks: "They're playing terribly! This is really bad! They can't just turn it back on in the playoffs!"
Me today: "Oh, wow. So they really just turned it back on, huh."
Fourth line was great, how often do you have a fourth line that is a legit threat to score every time they're on the ice? I think I'd rather see Jankowski instead of Carrier on that line, but that's just me and it's not a slight against Carrier.
I imagine Nikishin is rooming with Svechnikov. Watching the system at work from upstairs and being debriefed, for the first series seems to make sense. He’ll be there when we need him.
Every playoff it is the same thing: teams get ultra dirty against the canes and the league allows it. I was pleased with the canes' toughness though. They need to be the aggressors throughout the playoffs… and they need to keep their heads on a swivel.
27:15 I believe once we get Nikishin up to speed Carolina may have a Physical defenders alongside with Scvech tearing it up the Playoffs
So glad to hear the confirmation of what I've been crying about for the last two years. That final ~minute (guess it's 2 minutes) of the first is BRUTAL and I can't understand why. I get nervous any time the period is getting late because of how bad we are, and it doesn't seem to happen as much in the 2nd period – but note that the lone NJD goal was with 1:03? left in the 2nd. Idk what to do to fix it but it's gotta be solved.
I would not risk home ice advantage by starting Kochetkov in game 2. If we take game 2 then start him game 3 and back to Freddie game 4. Kooch has Not matured to the level he was expected him too at this point. He still loses his stick too often, Out of position, mishandles the puck and too many soft goals. Way too erratic in goal. This is not a chance we need to take in the playoffs.
