New York Rangers left wing Alexis Lafrenière celebrates his goal against the Carolina Hurricanes with defenseman K'Andre Miller and left wing Artemi Panarin during the third period in Game 3 of an NHL hockey Stanley Cup second-round playoff series Thursday, May 9, 2024, in Raleigh, N.C.
Worse, they found themselves down entering the third period with the prospect of having to play a Game 7. Kreider single-handedly erased the Hurricanes’ 3-1 lead entering the final period. The go-ahead score — which also completed the natural hat trick — came when he got position on Jalen Chatfield at the top of the crease and tipped in Ryan Lindgren’s pass to make it 4-3 at the 15:41 mark.
Barclay Goodrow finished this one off by getting to a loose puck near the boards and scoring a long empty-net goal in the final minute, sending Goodrow to the nearby Rangers bench to be mobbed by teammates. Igor Shesterkin hung in after a pressured first two periods, finishing with 33 saves and coming up with a big stop on Jordan Staal near the crease and another tying chance from Andrei Svechnikov off a faceoff win in the third period.
