Hurricanes' special teams woes continue in Game 2 loss

Vincent Trocheck's double-overtime goal was the perfect encapsulation of the New York Rangers' series against the Carolina Hurricanes so far: It was scored on a Rangers power play, during another failure for Carolina's penalty kill.

"Not much else to talk about. It's pretty evident," Carolina captain Jordan Staal said after New York's 4-3 victory to take a 2-0 series lead. "The PK's got to kill. If our power play converts on probably one (chance), we probably win. Everyone in the room knows our special teams need to be better."

The Rangers went 2-for-7 on the power play in Game 2, after needing only 23 seconds to score twice on two opportunities in Game 1.
