The New York Rangers are staking their claim as a dominant team when playing at home, winning their fifth straight in the postseason on Tuesday night in a 4-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes to even their second-round Stanley Cup Playoff series at two wins apiece.
The Rangers, after dropping 2-0 to start the series, had their best showing on Tuesday, maintaining a 3-0 lead until around the six-minute mark of the third period when Canes forward Teuvo Teravainen scored his third goal of the post-season.
But Andrew Copp would score with just nine minutes left in the period to give New York its second straight win of the series.
Frank Vatrano was first on the board with a power-play goal in the first period, followed by Adam Fox and Mika Zibanejad in the second.
