WASHINGTON -- Jaccob Slavin scored at 3:06 of overtime, giving the Carolina Hurricanes a 2-1 win against the Washington Capitals in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Second Round at Capital One Arena on Tuesday. Slavin won it with a shot from the right point that got through traffic and under the right pad of Capitals goalie Logan Thompson.

While the Canes dominated early with puck possession, the Capitals scored first. Aliaksei Protas made his first career playoff goal, giving Washington a 1-0 lead in the second period. However, the Hurricanes, who've yet to allow a power play goal this postseason, ultimately defeated Washington 2-1 in overtime.
