Slavin, a defenseman, scored 1:53 into the
extra session off an assist from captain Jordan Staal.
Brett Pesce, Erik Haula and Dougie Hamilton scored for Carolina,
which faced a 3-1 deficit. Andrei Svechnikov and Teuvo
Teravainen each notched two assists.
The Hurricanes rallied to win their first two games of the
season, including in overtime Saturday night at Washington.
Tyler Johnson, Kevin Shattenkirk and Steven Stamkos scored for
the Lightning, which lost a night earlier at Florida.
Hurricanes goalie Petr Mrazek made 10 saves after having the
night off Saturday.
Carolina is 3-0-0 with every game extended beyond regulation. A
defenseman provided the winning tally each time.
Tampa Bay's Curtis McElhinney, who played for Carolina last
season, made 40 saves. He stopped 16 of 17 shots in the first
period.
Pesce's goal came 74 seconds into the game as the Hurricanes
looked like they had positive energy carrying over from the
Washington game. They came back from a two-goal deficit in the
third period of that outing.
But things changed rapidly in the first period Sunday. Tampa Bay
scored twice in the opening 10:07, including Shattenkirk's
power-play tally. After Carolina failed on a power play, Stamkos
blasted a shot into the net for an unassisted goal for a 3-1
lead at the 17:44 mark of the first period.
Tampa Bay didn't have a shot on goal in the second period. It
was the first time Carolina held an opponent without a shot for
a period since February 2004 vs. Colorado.
Meanwhile, the Hurricanes converted with Haula scoring on a
power play on one of Carolina's 16 shots in the second period.
The Lightning recorded only two shots in the third period.
