Vezina Trophy finalist Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 37 shots as the Lightning took Game 1 over the Hurricanes, 2-1.
Solving the Tampa netminder will be key for Carolina if theyâre to even the series in Game 2 before everything shifts to AMALIE Arena for Games 3 and 4 later this week.
âIf youâre getting your chances, then eventually youâll get something. We know heâs good,â said Hurricanes head coach Rod BrindâAmour. âJust keep pounding the rock. Thereâs always ways to get better. Weâre going to have to find a way.â
BrindâAmour said he is contemplating changes for Game 2 as Carolina hopes to reverse the trend of allowing the first goal in six of their first seven playoff games.
Jon Cooper will continue to rely on his veterans to use their postseason experience in tight games like they managed to close out in Game 1.
âThis group over the past couple of years has really acquired that, and probably why weâve had some success,â he said.
