Ian Cole's 1st postseason goal in 6 years, at 3:12 of overtime, gave the Hurricanes a 2-1 win over the Rangers in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series. Sebastian Aho's 3rd goal of the playoffs -- his first since Game 2 vs Boston -- got Carolina even with just 2:23 left in regulation. None of that would have been possible, however, were it not for the continued brilliance of Antti Raanta. Carolina's "backup" goaltender is playing like he has no intention of giving the crease back to Frederik Andersen. Raanta made 27 saves in the win and now has a save percentage of .933 in the playoffs. Game 2 is set for Friday night at 8:00 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
