The Carolina Hurricanes have raced out to a 2-0 series lead against their Metropolitan Division rival New Jersey Devils in the first round of the 2025 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Carolina won the first game by a 4-1 score, building a 3-0 lead by midway through the second period before the Devils got on the board thanks to captain Nico Hischier. Logan Stankoven was the star with two goals in 14:53 of ice time, and Taylor Hall provided two assists.
In Game 2, New Jersey scored the only goal in the first period, but two 'Canes goals in the second — including a shorthanded goal from Jordan Martinook — flipped the script, and Carolina never looked back from there.
