The Hurricanes won, 5-2, on Monday night to take a 3-1 lead in the second-round Stanley Cup playoff series, which now shifts back to Washington for Game 5.

Walker’s score came after the Capitals had pulled to within 3-2 on Alex Ovechkin’s one-time blast on a 5-on-3 power play with about eight minutes left. Taylor Hall flipped a pass to Walker to surge up the left side, then he hesitated to cut inside behind Jack Roslovic to score at the 16:45 mark to push the lead back to 4-2.
