Gustav Forsling's goal, just 4.3 seconds from the end of the overtime, beat Brandon Bussi and the Hurricanes, 1-0, in Carolina's opening game. Brandon Bussi stopped 19 shots, but couldn't get Forsling's drive from just inside the blue line was the difference. The Canes were 0 for 6 on the power play, though they did kill all seven of the Panthers' tries with the man advantage, so the special teams were a wash. Prior to the game the Hurricanes raised their Stanley Cup championship banner to a rowsing ovation from the sellout crowd.
