Hurricanes shut down on power play again, fall into 0-2 series hole against Rangers

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — The Carolina Hurricanes had the NHL’s second-best power play during the regular season. The Hurricanes went 0 for 5 again and gave up two more power-play goals in a 4-3 loss in two overtimes in Game 2 on Tuesday night to fall into an 0-2 series hole. On the other end, the Hurricanes had the league’s best penalty-kill during the season, but gave up the Rangers’ third power-play goal of the series when Chris Kreider scored the tying goal early in the third period, and then Vincent Trocheck scored the winner 7:24 into the second overtime. “I know what they have on the other side to their power play and I think our penalty kill was working real hard, trying to do the right things and we’ve gotten big saves from Igor when we needed them.” The Hurricanes, who finished 0 for 5 on the power play, got an advantage when Artemi Panarin was called for hooking at 3:28 in the second OT.
