Hurricanes Become 3rd NHL Team to Rally From 2 Goals Down in Final 2 Minutes to Win in Regulation

The Hurricanes scored three goals in the final two minutes to complete a rare comeback, extending their points streak to six games, with rookie goalie Brandon Bussi setting an NHL record.

  • On Thursday night in Raleigh, N.C., Jordan Staal scored with 29 seconds left to complete a three-goal, final-two-minute rally for a 5-4 Carolina Hurricanes win over the Utah Mammoth.
  • Facing a 4-2 deficit late, Carolina pulled goalie Brandon Bussi, creating a power-play chance that Andrei Svechnikov converted with 1:59 left.
  • Andrei Svechnikov and Shayne Gostisbehere each recorded two goals and an assist, with Gostisbehere scoring 32 seconds after Svechnikov to tie the game at 1:29 left.
  • Carolina Hurricanes' victory extended the team's points streak to six games, while Brandon Bussi stopped 21 shots and became the first NHL goalie with 20 wins in his first 24 games.
  • Historically, the Hurricanes are the first NHL team in more than 30 years and third overall to rally from two goals down in the last two minutes to win in regulation, with only the Dallas Stars vs. Boston Bruins on Oct. 14, 1995, and the Montreal Maroons vs. New York Rangers on March 15, 1932, matching this feat.
