RALEIGH, N.C. — Carolina Hurricanes captain Jordan Staal said recently he was "just warming up." Turns out, he wasn't kidding.
Staal had a pair of goals Friday and Andrei Svechnikov scored in overtime as the Canes pulled out a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Svechnikov followed up a shot by Teuvo Teravainen with 1:46 left in the OT after Canes center Vincent Trocheck drew a slashing call against Pens defenseman Kris Letang. On the 4-on-3 power play, Teravainen got off a shot from the right circle and Svechnikov was in the position to pop the puck past goalie Casey DeSmith.
