Recap: Raanta Shuts Out Rangers, Canes Take 2-0 Series Lead (BlueJackets.com)

RALEIGH, NC. - The Carolina Hurricanes extended their perfect postseason at PNC Arena Friday, taking a 2-0 victory over the New York Rangers in Game Two.

When you're going to the game the fans are yelling and making noise. With an assist on Smith's goal, tonight marked the third multi-point game of the playoffs for #20. We did what we had to do to get the win and everyone contributed to that. You always hope to get these games and get good results. When you get older you're probably going to remember these things, for sure." When all was said and done, the team finished with 24. These are the games you always dream to play in. Then Turbo got to the puck first and he makes great plays. Now you're there and when you're winning, the fans have been unbelievable here. He chipped it into space and he got Fishy moving. Per NaturalStatTrick.com, the Rangers only had four high-danger chances, unable to produce any wildly dangerous opportunities. I just tried to get going and find the lane and Fishy is an elite passer.

Update: On a forecheck on the “power kill,” Sebastian Aho races to the left corner and feed Teuvo Teravainen in the slot. On the same play, Tony DeAngelo called for a slash, and the Rangers get their second opportunity on the power play, first full 5-on-4. Getting “scrummy” early: The Canes and Rangers come together in front of Antti Raanta early, as well, with some after-whistle pleasantries. Kelly Sutherland and Jon McIsaac are the referees. Canes have two on net, but have been relentless on the forecheck. The final seconds ticked off the clock in the first with the teams remaining scoreless. More scrummy: On his next shift after coming out of the box, Brendan Smith is headed back in. Skjei hobbled?:Among the more valuable people on the Canes roster in these playoffs has been Brady Skjei. To start the third period, Skjei took a quick shift and appeared to be in some discomfort. First PP for Carolina: Hurricanes will go on the power play after Chris Kreider is whistled for slashing after he gets into it along his defensive half wall with a Jaccob Slavin, catching the Canes’ defenseman in the knee in retaliation for a clean hit. Update: Canes spent almost the entire time in the Rangers’ zone. It feels like more for New York. Update: As that post was sending, Canes picked up a pair of dcent shots against Shesterkin. 3-3 are the shots now in the third. 1:10 of 4-on-3 time coming for the Canes.

Carolina Hurricanes New York Rangers Brendan Smith Antti Raanta (Canes Country)

The Carolina Hurricanes, thanks to a goal from Brendan Smith and shutout from Antti Raanta, took a 2-0 lead over the Rangers Friday night in PNC.

Barely clip someone with the end of the blade and it draws blood: four minutes. Smack someone full speed with the full brunt of your blade and it doesn’t draw blood: two minutes. I’m happy for the guy and it’s a good situation with him.” “The team gets a lot of momentum, a lot of confidence in their own play when you see your goalie playing at that level. That’s why you play the game and you love to see the guys enjoy the game.” Antti Raanta picked up the first postseason shutout of his NHL career, stopping all 21 shots he faced Friday night.

Brendan Smith, Antti Raanta lead Carolina Hurricanes past New ... (USA TODAY)

Brendan Smith scored a shorthanded goal and Antti Raanta and 21 saves to help the Carolina Hurricanes beat the New York Rangers 2-0 in Game 2.

Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren left briefly after taking a puck to the mouth area near the boards slightly past the midway point of the first period. Brind’Amour also moved up speedy skater Martin Necas to the second line and bumped Max Domi – the Game 7 hero against Boston with two goals – down to the fourth line. “I’m happy with the way we’ve performed overall,” Rangers coach Gerard Gallant said. It’s why they’re unbeaten at home, and up 2-0 again in a series. We probably could’ve, but that’s the way it goes.” Now 6-0 at home in the playoffs, Carolina faces the challenge of winning on the road for the first time in the postseason after failing to win a road game against the Bruins.
