Ehlers’ OT Strike Keeps Hurricanes’ Series Alive

The Hurricanes are leaning on the kind of playoff moment that can flip a series before anyone has time to breathe. Ehlers delivered when the game drifted into the kind of territory where benches get tight and every change gets magnified. For Carolina, that is the sort of boost that can quiet a lot of second-guessing and force the other side to start feeling the pressure. The series is suddenly back on level ground, and that changes the temperature everywhere.
