Recap: Canes Score Three In The Third To Win In New York

NEW YORK -Jalen Chatfield, Stefan Noesen, and Teuvo Teravainen all found twine in the final 10:11 Tuesday night, earning the Carolina Hurricanes an important 3-2 victory over the New York Rangers.

The Story

Beginning a home-and-home set that will bring the Rangers to PNC Arena on Thursday, the pair of games includes massive implications for a tight Metropolitan Division race.
The first period was an evenly contested one, with both teams earning high-danger chances in the first 10 minutes. But Igor Shesterkin and Frederik Andersen were able to hold down the forts for their respective units, carrying the game scoreless for most of the first.
However, an offensive zone draw for New York with just 3:07 remaining in the opening frame would be a turning point. The Rangers were able to get to a 50/50 puck after the faceoff, allowing Barclay Goodrow to set up Tyler Motte in front for the game's first goal.
The home team was noticeably sparked by the tally, buzzing through the final three minutes of the opening frame. However, the intermission came at a very fortuitous time for Carolina, moving the game to the second still at 1-0.
In the middle stanza, Rod Brind'Amour's club found much more of their game, far and away being the superior team.
Although they had to kill off the night's opening penalty in between, the Canes really tilted the ice, outshooting New York 15-5. But thanks to Shesterkin, Carolina was held without a goal through 40 minutes.
Then is when the game got crazy.
Taking a streak of over 170+ minutes of shutout hockey into the third period, the bid for a third consecutive perfect game for New York was snapped by Jalen Chatfield with just 10:11 on the clock.

The goal provided hope for Carolina, proving that they were able to get one by Shesterkin after he had stopped the first 34 sent his way.
However, Shesterkin's group had an immediate response. Just 31 seconds after Chatfield's sixth goal of the season, a puck hopped to Kaapo Kakko in the slot, where he beat an adjusting Andersen to give the Rangers their lead back.
Momentarily slicing any momentum built by the current division leaders, it felt as if Carolina was going to have to dig deep to try and find a way to put another past Shesterkin. Instead, Stefan Noesen washed away that notion just 18 seconds later.

So after the first 49:48 had seen just one puck find the back of the net, within a span of 49 seconds the two teams had combined for three goals, setting up a dramatic finish at "The Garden."
With high intensity over the next five minutes, there was just one goal left to be found in the affair.
Following a zone entry from Jesperi Kotkaniemi, he bought time and space to open up room at the point for Brent Burns. And as Burns got three Rangers defenders to buy that he was shooting, he instead slipped one down low to Teuvo Teravainen for a must-see setup on the game-winning goal.

Andersen came up with one more big save for Carolina at the horn, earning the team their 46th win and hitting 100 points in the standings.

They Said It

Rod Brind'Amourgiving his keys to the victory...
"I thought it was a great effort, right from the start. We didn't come off of it. We had a game plan and the guys knew what we needed to do. They've got a high-offense team, so we were trying to limit their chances. Everybody. All 20 guys contributed in this win. Even though it wasn't looking good for most of the game, we were down, then we tied it up and they got another right away, I just loved the way we [shook it off], next shift. It was great to tie it up and then get the late one. We got what we deserved tonight, for sure."
Jalen Chatfieldon the team being able to dig deep and earn late-game victories, such as both Saturday in Philadelphia and again tonight...
"It just gives us more confidence. We know what we've got in this locker room and we know how we want to play every night. To be able to match up against these guys, another great team, [is great]. We lost the first two to them, so to be able to get this one feels nice. We just have to keep going from there."
Brent Burnsoffering his thoughts on what's made him so successful in his first year with Carolina, adding to his already established single-season record for points by a defenseman with the game-winning setup tonight...
"I think it's everybody. (Jaccob Slavin) has been so big for me. Coming into a new place, I knew I was going to mess up a lot of things and screw up a lot. He's just been a rock back there. He's so skilled. He's got underrated speed, his stick is incredible and he's been huge. The system has been great. We play with a deep team and we just roll. It's been a lot of fun. I've said it before but it's a great group and a special group. It's been a lot of fun to try and come in and find a place."
