Ehlers Adds The Empty-Netter To Put It Away

Carolina did not need style points here, just one more clean finish to make the margin look as comfortable as it felt. Ehlers supplied the empty-net goal, the kind of late touch that tells you the other bench has already started thinking about the handshake line. NHL.com’s clip is brief, but the moment matters because these are the plays that quietly close the door on a championship night. The Hurricanes kept their foot down until there was nothing left for the opposition to chase.
