Game 2 in the East panned out the way it probably should... as the evenly matched pair of teams bring their series to a draw. Sadly, it didn't have quite the same effect on the pool as our new leaders, the Dewhirst Destroyers, have kept their four-point lead going into Edmonton & Anaheim's 3rd game tonight.

Carolina did much like Buffalo did in the first game... build itself a lead and hang on for dear life as the other team chips away at you... still managing to hang on.

Cam Ward won game number 9 for the Hurricanes after only making 16 saves in the 4-3 win. You can't really say that he was tested a great deal... 6 shots in the 1st, 4 in the 2nd and 9 in the 3rd. Justin Williams scored the winning goal 7 minutes into the 3rd period, building a 4-1 lead, but was the eventual winner. Ray Whitney (pictured) scored a pair of goals and Frank Kaberle opened the scoring in the game. Cory Stillman, Eric Staal, Doug Weight all had pool worthy assists in Game 2 as well.

For the Sabres, Chris Drury had a goal and an assist on the comeback trail. Ales Kotalik, Daniel Briere, J.P. Dumont and Maxim Afinogenov all had assists in the game.

The series will now shift back to Buffalo on Wednesday.
