Martinook's continued success against the Devils in the playoffs was a key factor in the Hurricanes' victory. Gostisbehere and Jarvis also contributed with goals, and Andresen made crucial saves to secure the win. Pesce's defensive efforts prevented the Devils from scoring more in the second period, while Markstrom kept New Jersey in the game with his saves. The absence of Hughes and Dillon was felt by the Devils, as Nemec and Cholowski had to step in and make their playoff debuts. Game 3 in New Jersey will be crucial for both teams as the Hurricanes look to extend their lead and the Devils aim to bounce back.
