Well, the rabbit is out of the hat. The Hurricanes took one game from Rexall Place and now lead the series 3-1 heading back to the RBC Center in Raleigh. There's very little that could compare to how clutch this win is for the 'Canes, because in all likelihood now, they won't have to return to Edmonton.

Cam Ward was again solid in the nets for Carolina, making 20 saves for his 14th win of the playoffs. He now leads the pool players with 32 points. Geez... if only we had him, right? Mark Recchi scored the winner for the Hurricanes last night, giving him the bonus point. Cory Stillman had a goal and an assist in the win last night, making him the second highest scoring picked player in the pool, one point behind Dwayne Roloson. Eric Staal also had a pair of assists, which puts him in third of all picked players in the pool. Frank Kaberle also added an assist.

As for the Oilers lone goal, Sergei Samsonov took an excellent pass from Radek Dvorak to score. Jarret Stoll added the other assist. For Dvorak, that was his first point of the playoffs, which unfortunately for the two teams that picked him, this was actually the case.
