Stanley Cup Playoffs: Eastern Conference Thrillers

In a marathon contest, Jordan Martinook delivered the decisive goal at 13:53 of the second overtime, lifting the Carolina Hurricanes past their opponent after a prior potential game-winner was overturned due to a review, following an earlier penalty shot save by Linus Ullmark in the first extra period. Separately, the Philadelphia Flyers established a commanding 2-0 series advantage early on, driven by the historic performance of rookie Porter Martone, who at just 19 years old, became the first teenager in franchise history to score in his initial two playoff appearances.
