Hurricanes Rout Chicago 9 to 2 as Martinook Scores Twice
November 7, 2026
Twelve games went final Saturday, and the biggest number on the board belonged to Carolina.
Games of the night
Three or four nights in here that will echo all week.
- The two best games of the night both went to overtime, and both were comebacks. New Jersey trailed 4-2 and then 4-3 at the Islanders, D. Hamilton tied it on a power play at 13:42 of the third, and J. Hughes ended it at 1:18 of the extra frame, 5-4.
- Tampa Bay ran the same play in Minnesota. Trailing 3-1 after M. Shabanov’s second goal midway through the third, the Lightning answered three times before the horn, J. Guentzel with his second of the night and C. D’Astous with a power-play marker, then N. Kucherov won it on the man advantage at 3:23 of overtime, 4-3.
- The names you pay for delivered elsewhere. S. Crosby scored twice and E. Malkin added three assists as Pittsburgh took 5-2 at Los Angeles.
- Around the rest of the board: Washington held Florida 4-3 with B. Tkachuk’s two goals for naught, the Rangers carried a 4-0 lead into the last intermission and still had to survive a three-goal Seattle third for a 4-3 win, and Ottawa scored twice in the final 2:18 to take 4-2 from Utah. Dallas held San Jose 4-3 with M. Celebrini on three assists, Nashville beat St.
