In a nail-biting OT finish, the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Washington Capitals 2-1 in Game 1 of their playoff series. Jaccob Slavin scored the game-winner after Logan Stankoven tied the game in the third period, capitalizing on a Washington turnover. Carolina dominated overall with 33 shots on goal compared to Washington's 14. Goaltender Frederik Andersen returned from injury, making 13 crucial saves. Despite being outscored earlier, Slavin expressed confidence in the teamâs strategy of relentless offense, leading to their critical round one win and strong playoff start.
Just really been looking forward to this for a while. Happy we could start off on the right foot.
We were all over it, and we knew we had to just throw everything at the net. That mentality paid off there at the end.
Just trying to take what comes my way and be in that moment all the time and just stay with it.
