卡羅萊納颶風隊加班賽獲勝，將史坦利盃總決賽系列賽扳平
Introduction
The Carolina Hurricanes beat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 in overtime during Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, making the series score 1-1.
在史坦利盃總決賽第二場，卡羅萊納颶風隊在加班賽以 4-3 擊敗拉斯維加斯金騎士，將系列賽比分扳成 1-1。
Main Body
The game saw several major changes in momentum. The Vegas Golden Knights started strong with a 2-0 lead thanks to two goals from Brett Howden. However, the Hurricanes fought back in the third period, as Logan Stankoven and Mark Jankowski scored to tie the game. A key moment happened when Vegas coach John Tortorella challenged a goal by Ivan Barbashev. The NHL officials decided the original 'no-goal' call was correct due to goaltender interference, which gave Vegas a penalty for delaying the game. Carolina took advantage of this power play, and Jordan Staal scored to give them a 3-2 lead.
這場比賽的氣勢經歷了幾次重大轉折。拉斯維加斯金騎士起步強勢，憑藉 Brett Howden 的兩顆進球取得 2-0 領先。然而，颶風隊在第三節反擊，Logan Stankoven 與 Mark Jankowski 分別進球將比分扳平。一個關鍵時刻發生在拉斯維加斯教練 John Tortorella 對 Ivan Barbashev 的進球提出挑戰時。NHL 裁判認定原先的「不計分」判決正確，原因是守門員干擾，這導致拉斯維加斯因延遲比賽而被判罰球。卡羅萊納隊利用這次人數優勢，由 Jordan Staal 進球，使其 3-2 領先。
Although Mark Stone scored a late goal to force overtime, Seth Jarvis won the game for Carolina with a power-play goal early in the extra period. This is the first time in Stanley Cup Final history that the winners of the first two games both came back from a multi-goal deficit.
雖然 Mark Stone 在比賽末段進球強迫進入加班賽，但 Seth Jarvis 在額外時間早段以一個人數優勢進球為卡羅萊納隊贏得比賽。這是史坦利盃總決賽歷史上，首次出現前兩場比賽的贏家皆在落後多球的情況下反敗為勝。
At the same time, the Golden Knights dealt with internal challenges. The team had recently hired John Tortorella as head coach to bring more stability to the organization. Furthermore, Vegas struggled when defenseman Brayden McNabb was taken to the hospital after a facial injury from a fast shot. Because McNabb was missing, the other defenders had to play more minutes, which likely caused the team's defense to weaken toward the end of the game.
與此同時，金騎士面臨著內部挑戰。球隊近期聘請了 John Tortorella 擔任總教練，以為組織帶來更多穩定性。此外，當後衛 Brayden McNabb 因面部被快球擊中受傷送醫後，拉斯維加斯隊陷入困境。由於 McNabb 缺陣，其他後衛必須增加上場時間，這很可能導致球隊在比賽末段的防守能力下降。
Conclusion
The series now moves to Las Vegas for Game 3, with both teams having won one game each.
系列賽現在移至拉斯維加斯進行第三場，兩隊目前都各贏了一場。
