Tkachuk Hat Trick Leads Flames Past Oilers in Goal-Scoring Frenzy (9-6); Hurricanes Rally Past Rangers (2-1, OT)

Another night of playoff hockey saw two very different scoreboards on Wednesday night. First, the Hurricanes rallied from the 1-0 deficit with a late goal in the third period from Sebastian Aho to force overtime before Ian Cole won it in the OT. In the nightcap, the Flames hung nine goals on the Oilers in the Battle of Alberta, including two lamps in the first minute of the game. Edmonton came back from a 5-1 deficit to tie the game at 6-all, but the Flames caught fire again in the third. Matthew Tkachuk tallied a hat trick by night’s end in a 15-goal thriller packed with action. The Stanley Cup Playoffs continue tonight.
