News about Aaron Ekblad

The Carolina Hurricanes had their hopes, but they lost the franchise's longest game in franchise history when Florida Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk scored the tie-breaker in quadruple overtime. Florida thought they had won the game in the first overtime, but Ryan Lomberg's apparent goal was overturned due to a contentious goalie-interference call by the Panthers' Colin White. Even as Panthers netminder Sergei Bobrovsky was trapped out of place, there were other chances, such as Sebastian Aho's shot off the wall in the early stages of the fourth overtime. Jesper Fast whiffed in front of the net on a sure-be game winner minutes later during a Carolina power play. A deflected Aaron Ekblad shot ricocheted off the crossbar late in the fourth, but the Hurricanes' net was unable to locate the back of the Hurricane's net.
