Rangers 2, Hurricanes 1 (SO): Rick Nash scored the only goal of the shootout in the third round as host New York snapped a three-game losing streak and continued its domination of Carolina.

Derick Brassard scored for the third consecutive game, netting the tying tally midway through the third as the Rangers beat the Hurricanes for the 12th time in 13 meetings - including seven straight at Madison Square Garden. Henrik Lundqvist made 29 saves and denied all three attempts in the shootout to improve to 9-1-0 in his last 10 against Carolina.

Chris Terry scored the only goal for the Hurricanes, who absorbed their second straight shootout defeat to remain winless (0-2-2) on the season. Anton Khudobin made 33 saves in his second start of the campaign.

Carolina finally broke the scoreless deadlock with 3:07 remaining in the second session, when Terry's wrist shot from the left point was deflected over the right shoulder of Lundqvist. Nash nearly tied it after stealing the puck just over six minutes into the third, but Khudobin denied his initial shot and rebound from the doorstep.

The Rangers finally got the equalizer midway through the third as Brassard redirected defenseman Dan Girardi's shot from the right point. New York received its fifth power-play chance with 6:38 remaining but was unable to capitalize, falling to 0-for-16 with the man advantage on the season.
