After pulling their goalie and adding the extra skater, Toronto forced overtime when Alyn McCauley scored with eight seconds left in regulation. But that would not deflate Carolina. Niclas Wallin (vah-LEEN') scored 13:42 into overtime to give the Hurricanes the win. Hurricanes goalie Arturs Irbe (UR'-bay) made 26 saves. Game three is tomorrow night in Toronto.
