The home team with the backing of the home crowd, which gave them added confidence, scored in the 6th minute to break the deadlock. The goal was scored by Chad LaRose from a brilliant flick shot which was perfectly placed.
Both teams continued to attack with full force in search of goals. It was the Carolina Hurricanes who scored once again in the 15th minute through a goal scored by Jussi Jokinen from a simple tip in shot. The period saw both teams finish off strongly,
firing shots on goal every now and then.

in the 6th minute through Brandon Sutter from a superb backhand shot.
New York Rangers unlike the first period made goal attempts at the end of the period and were stronger. They maintained a tight defence and restricted the Hurricanes to long range shooting only. This resulted in the Hurricanes coming across opening scoring
chances but they failed to capitalize and the period ended with the Hurricanes leading 3-0 as they made 12 goal attempts in the period, while Rangers made 14 goal attempts.
