WASHINGTON - Jaccob Slavin scored in overtime, Frederik Andersen recovered from 13 saves in injury, and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Washington Capitals 2-1 in Game 1 of the second round of the playoff series Tuesday night.

Logan Stankoven started his goal midway through the third quarter, defeating Logan Thompson on a wrong pass from Aliaksei Protas, Washington teammate Alex Alexeyev's right skateboard put the puck on Jesperi Kotkaniemi's Stick. After the regulations failed to score in a strong game late in the statute, Slavin scored 3:06 from the Blue Line, making Carolina the lead in the series.

Despite the fact that it was behind the road team for most games, it turned out to win the road team’s leading efforts. Carolina has received 33 shots online, only 14 times in Washington. All in all, six hurricanes have had at least three shots online, including Slavin, who got five.

"We're everywhere and we know we just have to throw everything online," Slaven said. "The last mentality paid off there."

Andersen didn't get much test, and he only allowed a second phase goal to advance 4-1 in the early stage of this playoffs. Andersen returned after being eliminated in Game 4 and missed Game 5 of the first round against the New Jersey Devils with a significant head injury.

"Just trying to stay there along that moment, just staying there," Anderson said. "You don't know when the next big save is going to happen."

Just a week ago, Andersen had to sit down and watch his teammates beat the Devil in Game 5 to secure the series. He came back a week later and whenever he was healthy he got that quality goalkeeper from him.

"Just looking forward to that for a while," Anderson said. "I'm glad we can start with our right foot."

Carolina remains the only team to kill the playoff free throw, allowing Washington's power to beat the board twice to raise to 17 of 17. This took advantage of a bug with Kotkaniemi and Stankoven and scored with Seth Jarvis secking Thompson.

"I thought our guys were all playing hard. From the start of the game, I liked how we played," said Carolina coach Rod Brind'amour. "Obviously, we were frustrated, but yes, there was a game plan. I thought we were on it tonight."

The second game was Thursday night in Washington.
