They also have yet to find an answer to Aleksander Barkov, who scored a goal in each game, including a highlight-reel backhand after faking a between-the-legs shot to pull the Panthers even at 1-1 at 7:43 of the second.
The Hurricanes decision to start a fresher Antti Raanta (24 saves) in net instead of a fatigued Frederik Andersen after he made 57 saves in Game 1 would've looked like a smart one if they scored more than one on Bobrovsky, but he wasn't their only problem.
