Hurricanes blow away the Oilers 5-0 in Game 2 -- Russian replacement goalie Jussi Markkanen was no match for the Oilers assault, which included 3 goals in just the 1st period. The shut-out was especially satisfying for Carolina's rookie goalie Cam Ward.

This puts Edmonton 2 games in the hole as the game moves to their home turf for game 3. Lines haven't been released by the major books yet, but I am willing to bet they will favor Carolina in a big way.
