A four-goal opening period made it an exciting start at the Lenovo Center, where the guests went ahead via Max Sasson 2:45 in. Two and a half minutes later, however, they found themselves behind. Andrei Svechnikov tied things up for the Hurricanes before doubling his tally 44 seconds after via a power play.
Elias Pettersson, who received the two-minute minor that led to Carolina's second goal, restored parity in the game. Ironcially, the forward scored when the Canucks were shorthanded.
Three minutes and change into the second frame, Vancouver went back in front. Conor Garland converted on a man advantage situation, giving his side the lead. The score would stay 3-2 until the 6:26 mark of the third period, where Taylor Hall got his fourth goal of the year to level things once more.
With 31 seconds left in the overtime period, the Canes got their winner. Sebastian Aho put his shot in off a solo effrt, ending an entertaining contest.

Christian Dvorak and Trevor Zegras both scored twice for the Philadelphia Flyers in their 6-5 shootout win against the St. Louis Blues. Although they went down 5-3 at one point, the Flyers bounced back in the third, with two goals in less than three minutes.
Zegras had his chance for a hat-trick in overtime, but could not make the most of his penalty shot. The 24-year-old would make amends in the shootout, being the only shooter of five to convert his attempt.
The win saw the Flyers leap the Detroit Red Wings into the eighth and final playoff spot in the East while also ending a two-game slide.
