NEWARK, N.J.—All the Carolina Hurricanes needed to push the New Jersey Devils to the brink of elimination was a five-minute span in the second period where everything went right and the puck just kept going in.
Jordan Martinook had a goal and two assists and the Hurricanes scored five times in the middle period to beat the Devils 6–1 on Tuesday night for a 3–1 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal.
