The Hurricanes survived a gong show of a 3rd period in a 6-4 win over the Panthers as they claim their second straight Metropolitan Division title.  Brent Burns scored twice, including the go-ahead goal in the 3rd period after the Panthers erased a 2-0 deficit in the first 3 and a half minutes of the frame.  His first goal opened the scoring in the 1st period, but the Canes, who had so many chances to put the game away early, carried just a 2-0 lead into the 3rd.  And, when the Panthers quickly drew even it was up to Burns to do it again.  His 2nd of the game and 18th of the year found it's way from the blue line, through traffic and past Alex Lyon for the goal that put the Canes ahead to stay.  Jesper Fast doubled the lead just 21 seconds later.  Shayne Gostibehere and Sebastian Aho would add empty net goals before the final horn.  Carolina will meet the New York Islanders in the series that begins either Monday or Tuesday of next week.
