Seth Jarvis ended Game 2 in overtime, giving Carolina a 4-3 win over the Vegas Golden Knights and leveling the Stanley Cup Final at 1‑1. The Hurricanes erased a two‑goal deficit in the third period before Jarvis struck 3:56 into OT, his fourth goal of this postseason. The victory pushes the series back to Vegas for Game 3 Saturday and sparked celebrations among the home crowd.

Carolina surged late as Logan Stankoven stripped Rasmus Andersson and scored with 9:40 left, then Mark Jankowski tied it three minutes later, mirroring Vegas’ comeback in Game 1. A controversial non‑call on Ivan Barbashev’s scramble sparked a coach’s challenge; officials upheld a goaltender‑interference ruling, handing the Hurricanes a power‑play, shifting momentum toward Carolina quickly. Jordan Staal redirected Gostisbehere’s point, and Jarvis cashed the ensuing chance.

Jarvis’s overtime tally marked the Hurricanes’ ninth power‑play goal of the playoffs and signaled a newfound rhythm on special teams. Both teams will look to capitalize on their recent performances. With the series dead‑locked, Vegas returns home needing a response, while Carolina carries momentum into Saturday’s contest. The next game will decide which club seizes the early advantage in this tightly contested final.
