Engstrom answered again after the next deficit. That resilience gave C. Caufield the overtime opening to settle a five-four Canadiens win.

IHM Comment: Carolina met every Islanders push with a response. M. Chaffee and B. Schenn erased the early two-goal deficit, but A. Svechnikov restored the Hurricanes lead exactly a minute later. Once V. Eklund tied it again, W. Carrier’s third-period goal created the separation, before J. Chatfield sealed the five-three result.

Standout players: Z. Werenski (1 G, 0 A); M. Rantanen (1 G, 0 A); C. Talbot (27 saves); C. DeSmith (29 saves).

IHM Comment: The Blue Jackets had to wait until the third period to answer M. Rantanen’s opener for Dallas, with Z. Werenski tying the game at sixteen minutes and forty-six seconds. That single regulation response carried Columbus through overtime level, before the shootout supplied the winning edge in a two-one decision.
