The Carolina Hurricanes are relying heavily on goaltender Kochetkov in the second period of their game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Kochetkov makes a crucial save on a shot from Anthony Cirelli.
#mnwild with their first lead of the night, 4-3. Mats Zuccarello with the go-ahead goal off a Kirill Kaprizov pass.
Now this is how a top line plays. Tic-tac-toe starting with Hartman behind the net to Kaprizov and Zuccarello finishing in the slot. 4-3 #mnwild lead, 13:11 to play in regulation.
4-3 Wild, 13:12 left...Zuccarello from Hartman and Kaprizov...3rd goal for that line, 9 points, 20 shot attempts, 9 scoring chances
Kaprizov walks Bouchard, drive to the net alone, but his backhand was blocked by Nurse right at the goalmouth
Just your everyday Hartman from Zuccarello and Kaprizov goal...2 5-on-5 goals for that line tonight. 3rd time the #mnwild have rallied from a goal down
Have a night Hartzy. Campbell almost makes another incredible save but Kaprizov shovels a backhander to Zuccarello cutting through the right circle and deflects the puck to Hartman in front for the putaway. 3s early in the 3rd.
Kaprizov wide-open net and hits the far post, then denied right after. Zuccarello also denied by Campbell on that PP
The #Canes are asking a lot of Kochetkov again here in the early moments of the second period. Thankfully, he's able to deny this bid from Anthony Cirelli. https://t.co/Ed6zBMANm1
Stamkos pass attempt deflects right to Hagel alone down low, put it right in the pads of Kochetkov, top corner looked open but he couldn't elevate the puck
Point denied in front by Kochetkov. Couldn't get puck up as Kochetkov came out and went to the ground. #gobolts
Brayden Point robbed again, alone in front, Kochetkov down and Point tried to slide it under but Kochetkov was able to prevent it from getting under him
