Hurricanes take 2-0 series lead on Devils on stellar effort from Frederik Andersen
Put Jordan Martinook in a playoff series with the New Jersey Devils and it's like lighting a fuse. The Carolina Hurricanes forward — who is more about hustle and grit than shooting and scoring — has turned into the best form of himself against the Devils in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Martinook has played with fire but also with finish. Martinook did it again Tuesday in Game 2 of the first-round NHL playoffs series at the Lenovo Center. A shorthanded goal in the second period, on a snipe of a shot from the left wing, gave the Canes the lead as Carolina took a 3-1 victory for a 2-0 lead in the series. Defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere and forward Seth Jarvis each added goals for the Canes, Jarvis sealing the win with a late empty-net score. The series now shifts to the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, for Game 3 on Friday, and then Game 4 on Sunday. Game 2 was a game where both goalies — the Canes' Frederik Andersen and the Devils' Jacob Markstrom — were dialed in and sharp, and had to be. Andersen was quick from post to post, and Markstrom made several high-quality stops in tight. The Devils likely have seen enough of Martinook. Two years ago, the veteran had three goals and eight assists as the Canes won their playoff series in five games. Add in his 'shortie' on Tuesday and he now has 12 points in seven playoff games against New Jersey. The Hurricanes overcame a sluggish start Tuesday as the Devils were the sharper team in the opening 10 minutes, taking a 1-0 lead on Jesper Bratt's goal four minutes into the game. New Jersey was quicker to the puck and better defensively in the neutral zone, gapping up well and making it tougher for the Canes to enter the offensive zone. Outshot 17-5 in the opening period in Game 1, the Devils had more shots and offensive zone time than Carolina in the first period Tuesday as the Canes squandered a couple of power plays with sloppy passing and failed shooting attempts. Martinook, interviewed on the FanDuel telecast after the opening period, said the Canes were on their heels the first half of the period before finally getting into a better flow. It continued into the second. It took the Canes less than three minutes to tie the score as Gostisbehere took a pass from Jackson Blake and got off two shots, scoring on the rebound. Blake had his first career playoff point, and the building was rumbling. About three minutes later, the Devils were on the power play. But defenseman Dmitry Orlov battled and won a faceoff in the Canes zone and got the puck to Martinook, who took it from there. Martinook carried the puck up the left side and went bar-down with a shot that Markstrom could not stop and the Canes had the lead. Had it not been for Brett Pesce, the Canes would have scored more in the second. Twice, Pesce got his stick on a loose puck in the crease — the first an inch from crossing the goal line. It was the kind of quick, alert play Pesce made so often when he played for the Hurricanes. Andersen also got some help in the crease. He lost his stick a couple of times, unusual for the veteran goalie, and once had Jordan Staal and Brent Burns battle to keep the puck out of the net. It was all about grit in the third. Staal was called for a tripping penalty, but Andersen made some sharp stops as the Canes killed it off. The Canes had a power play after Blake was tripped, but Markstrom stood tall in net. The Devils were without defensemen Luke Hughes and Brenden Dillon, both injured in Game 1. Their status for Game 3 is uncertain. Devils coach Sheldon Keefe switched up his line in the third period of Game 1 and stuck with those lines Tuesday. Keefe kept Hischier at center with Timo Meier and Ondrej Palat, again using Bratt on Dawson Mercer's line. This story is developing and will be updated. Brett Pesce still loves Hurricanes' playoff atmosphere, even on the other side

Martinook, Andersen help Hurricanes push past Devils 3-1 for 2-0 lead in 1st-round playoff series
Associated Press RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Jordan Martinook scored a go-ahead shorthanded goal in the second period and Frederik Andersen came up big in net all night to help the Carolina Hurricanes beat the New Jersey Devils 3-1 on Tuesday for a 2-0 lead in their first-round playoff series. Shayne Gostisbehere also scored in the second for Carolina, while Seth Jarvis added a clinching empty-net breakaway goal in the final minute. That was enough for the Hurricanes, who had a much tougher fight on their hands against the shorthanded Devils than in a Game 1 romp. Andersen stood up for 25 saves and didn't allow the Devils to find the back of the net for the final 56 minutes, including a big stop on a shot by Nathan Bastian with about 6 minutes left. Jesper Bratt scored the Devils' lone goal while Jacob Markstrom finished with 25 saves for New Jersey. The Hurricanes had dominated the series opener in Sunday's 4-1 win, leaving coach Sheldon Keefe and his players lamenting the Devils' inability to match Carolina's relentless edge in what captain Nico Hischier described as 'simple hockey, hard hockey.' It didn't help, too, that New Jersey was down defensemen Luke Hughes and Brenden Dillon from Game 1 injuries. But the Devils got the determined effort they needed to stay in this one, starting when they pinned Carolina in its own end early to set up Bratt's clean-up of a rebound for the game's first score at 3:51 of the game. It also included former Hurricane Brett Pesce personally saving two goals for the Devils on loose pucks against Markstrom, including one coming seconds after Gostisbehere pounced on his own rebound to beat Markstrom. On that one, Pesce knocked a puck out as it laid on the goal line — but not fully across it — behind Markstrom. He also cleaned up one on Taylor Hall's near score on a push under Markstrom in traffic. But ultimately, Carolina did enough to keep pressure on. The winner fittingly went to the veteran Martinook on a strong attacking night, coming moments after the Devils were lined up for a faceoff to start a power play. Dmitry Orlov collected the loose puck and sent a transition pace to spring Martinook, who blasted a shot past Markstrom at the 5:54 mark of the second to put Carolina ahead for good. The series now shifts north to Newark for Game 3 on Friday night. ___ AP NHL playoffs: and recommended
