(AP) \u2014 The Vegas Golden Knights and Carolina Hurricanes combined for five goals in the frantic final 15 minutes of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final on Thursday night, and another one got waved off. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=2509\">The superfans known as the \u2018Spurs Nuns\u2019 aiming to bring divine intervention to the NBA Finals<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was somehow an even crazier finish than the series opener 48 hours earlier, when Vegas\u2019 Tomas Hertl scored the winner with 3:24 left. It\u2019s all tied up after the Hurricanes overcame a multigoal deficit in thrilling fashion.<\/p>\n<p>Here is how it happened:<\/p>\n<h3>10:20 left in regulation<\/h3>\n<p>Down 2-0 after having almost nothing going offensively for the first two periods and much of the first half of the third, the Hurricanes hemmed the Golden Knights in their own end, getting three shots on net and testing goalie Carter Hart. Vegas iced the puck, and the crowd could sense the home team was buzzing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe building got going,\u201d captain Jordan Staal said. \u201cObviously, we just needed a spark.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>9:40 left<\/h3>\n<p>Logan Stankoven, who has been one of the Hurricanes\u2019 best players all postseason, took it upon himself to make a difference. He stole the puck from Rasmus Andersson behind the net, skated toward the crease and banked the puck in off defender Jeremy Lauzon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s tough to find goals,\u201d Staal said. \u201cWe got a bounce. That\u2019s kind of all it took.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>7:14 left<\/h3>\n<p>The momentum turned quickly, and the fourth line kept it going. William Carrier somehow stayed onside, and while getting tangled up with Lauzon, passed the puck to streaking linemate Mark Jankowski, who fired a shot past Hart to tie it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t have a lot of time, honestly,\u201d said Jankowski, who scored his first of the playoffs after having two called off. \u201cJust got it on my stick, got my head up and just tried to give my best shot possible. Didn\u2019t have a lot of thought behind it, honestly. Instinct half kicked in there.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>5:00 left<\/h3>\n<p>With Vegas forward Ivan Barbashev, a two-time Cup champion, around the net with room to maneuver, Carolina goaltender Frederik Andersen stretched across the crease to get the paddle of his stick on the puck and keep it out. Players converged, and puck eventually went in the net and referee Jean Hebert immediately waved it off, announcing it was goalie interference because Andersen was pushed.<\/p>\n<p>Golden Knights coach John Tortorella challenged that it was not. Officials and the NHL\u2019s on-site situation room quickly confirmed the call on the ice, putting the Hurricanes on the power play.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=2507\">NC attorney general demands answers from Ticketmaster after Carolina Hurricanes fans report Stanley Cup ticket issues<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw a loose puck in front of Freddie,\u201d Tortorella said. \u201cOur player stabbed it, didn\u2019t move the goalie and it goes through him into the other side. I\u2019d challenge it 10 out of 10 times.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>4:35 left<\/h3>\n<p>Carolina\u2019s power play was 0 for 4 in the series to that point and 7 for 60 in the playoffs. Shayne Gostisbehere took a shot from the point, Staal redirected it in from just in front of Hart and Carolina had the lead for the first time all game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust shooting pucks and finding ways to get it to the net,\u201d Staal said. \u201cJust finding ways to get a good, quality shot.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>3:29 left<\/h3>\n<p>Jackson Blake interfered with Barbashev, putting Vegas on the power play. The Hurricanes\u2019 penalty kill got the job done, improving to 56 for 60, a 93.3% success rate. <\/p>\n<h3>1:21 left<\/h3>\n<p>Mere seconds after the power play expired and with Hart on the bench, pulled for an extra skater, Golden Knights captain Mark Stone tied it. The puck went off him, and Carolina\u2019s Jaccob Slavin knocked the puck into his own net.<\/p>\n<h3>3:56 into overtime<\/h3>\n<p>Hertl tripped Staal 3:17 into overtime, putting the Hurricanes back on the power play.<\/p>\n<p>Gostisbehere found Seth Jarvis, who had struggled so much coach Rod Brind\u2019Amour moved him down to the the third line. Jarvis ripped a one-timer past Hart to give his team a 4-3 win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s huge,\u201d Jarvis said. \u201cTo be able to contribute to win and help the team out like that is nice, get the power play going even more after Jordo, follow his lead. Just keep this wave rolling now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=2503\">New video shows moments before NC jail escape; $40K reward being offered<\/a><\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP NHL: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/stanley-cup and https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/nhl<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RALEIGH, N.C.
