In a closely contested NHL game, the New Jersey Devils faced off against the Carolina Hurricanes. The game saw the Devils trailing 1-0 after the first period, with a goal from the Hurricanes' Necas, assisted by Teravainen and Noesen, and shots at 11-6 in favor of CAR. The Devils managed to tie the game 1-1, thanks to Nico Hischier, with 4:33 left in the second period.

40 minutes down, 20 (or more) to go. 1-1. The #Canes took four penalties during the frame, prohibiting them from having the same offensive juice that they did in the first. Momentum was all NJ to end the period, so Carolina will have to try and flip that after the break.
Now the Devils tie it up. 1-1. Nico Hischier. 4:33 left in the second.
