Jake Guentzel, who helped win the Stanley Cup in Pittsburgh with Sidney Crosby, now is playing alongside Canes center Sebastian Aho, pursuing another Cup.
The value from years of postseason lessons showed up in a desperate time for the Carolina Hurricanes as they turned a big deficit into a memorable comeback after long stretches of downright dominant play. It was a sign of how the Hurricanes' veteran experience — a veteran core in the NHL playoffs for the sixth straight year mixed with past-year additions who have raised the Stanley Cup elsewhere — is just as vital as all the talent and depth in that locker room. “You do need to take time to reflect on those things because they’re special, right?” coach Rod Brind’Amour said Tuesday.
Carolina Hurricanes score two goals 9 seconds apart late in the third period to complete a 5-3 comeback win over the New York Islanders on Monday night, for a 2-0 series lead.
