The Carolina Hurricanes dominated play for one road game then spent significant stretches of the next controlling the flow of action. It was a two-game start good enough to take home-ice advantage away from the Washington Capitals in their second-round playoff series.

The Washington Capitals knotted their Stanley Cup playoff series with the Carolina Hurricanes at a game apiece with their win on Thursday night.
