Sunday, November 3rd, 2024

The Carolina Hurricanes secured a 4-2 win against the Washington Capitals on Sunday with a strong performance from Dmitry Orlov, who scored twice. Martin Necas also had a significant impact by scoring one goal and providing two assists, while Andrei Svechnikov sealed the victory with an empty-net goal.

The Capitals saw their three-game winning streak come to an end despite goals from Alex Ovechkin and Brandon Duhaime. After a competitive start, the Hurricanes took charge with three unanswered goals in the second period. Pyotr Kochetkov played a pivotal role for the Hurricanes by preventing any further goals from the Capitals after their initial success.

A notable aspect of the game was Ovechkin’s power-play goal, which was a classic one-timer, marking his seventh goal of the season. The Hurricanes maintained their streak by keeping their record unblemished at 7-0-0 when leading after two periods. The team also remains undefeated in their first two home games following their usual October road trip.

One crucial moment in the game was Orlov’s decisive one-timer goal from the right circle at 5:26 in the second period, which broke a 2-2 tie and gave the Hurricanes control.

Looking ahead, the Capitals are set to host Nashville on Wednesday, while the Hurricanes will host Philadelphia on Tuesday.
