Staal scores in OT, lifts Hurricanes past Predators 3-2
Coach Rod Brind'Amour figured the puck would eventually have to bounce the right way for his Carolina Hurricanes. Jordan Staal scored off a rebound at 2:03 of overtime to give the Hurricanes a 3-2 come-from-behind victory over the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night, pushing Carolina to a 3-2 lead in the first-round playoff series. Staal was jostling for position just outside the crease when Brett Pesce fired a shot toward Juuse Saros, who made the stop and poked the puck forward.
