The Carolina Hurricanes won 3-2 in overtime over the Los Angeles Kings on February 1, 2026. Sebastian Aho’s overtime goal, 1:25 into the 3-on-3 session, gave the Canes a 3-2 win over the Kings, extending their points streak to 8 straight games (6-0-2). One night after leading 3-0 only to lose in overtime, Carolina led 2-0 with just over 7 minutes to play. But, the Kings capitalized on a Hurricanes mistake 24 seconds later to cut the lead in half and drew even with 3:11 to play and we were headed beyond regulation for the 2nd straight night — and the 3rd time in the last 5 games. This time, however, Sebastian Aho did what he seemingly always does, he won the game, beating Anton Forsberg just inside the left post for his 19th goal of the season. Brandon Bussi made 11 saves for his 21st win in 25 starts. Jordan Staal and Alexander Nikishin also scored for the Canes who are 10-1-3 in their last 14 games.

aho’s OT winner on #24’s 24th Bday!!
Good hit, Bad hit….. not one team member was there to stand up for Stanks, Pretty friking sad. Amazing the kid, played today.
Truthfully I don’t mind the stankoven hit. What I really disliked is the lack of teammate response. Even if it’s “clean,” it’s a vicious hit to a 2nd year player from a beefy veteran who is known for bad hits. The lack of response is what’s highly frustrating to me
This team most certainly needs to make a major move by the trade deadline. We still lack any consistent offensive playmaking when we really need it. In my opinion Ehlers hasn't been anything special and hasn't impressed me in the least bit. If we stick with this current roster we simply won't be making a deep run in the playoffs
Adam Gold has a hard on for Kotkaniemi 😂
I enjoyed the joint broad cast. The LA team is always class. Kopitar is a legend, I will miss watching him
Why do you keep bringing up the hit? And you DO care or you wouldn’t try to get air support from the national “ journalists.” Wilson is a dirty player and he almost seriously injured another competitor. Why run cover for him when you are supposed to be covering the canes?
The most annoying thing about the last after game was that you came on here and reported on the most egregious opinions from Twitter from the side you disagree with. No one cares. Twitter is almost never worth talking about. People saying that it was the "worst hit ever" don't need to be taken seriously. Why are you talking about them?
My problem is a few things:
1.) I don't see how the head contact is not relevant when Logan ends up bleeding from the face
2.) Why is all the responsibility on Logan? Why does Wilson have no responsibility to avoid head contact?
3.) Anyone saying their height differential is relevant (player safety in this case) needs to cite where that is in the rulebook. Not a justification.
