Jordan Martinook scored a go-ahead shorthanded goal in the second period and Frederik Andersen came up big in net all night to help the Carolina Hurricanes beat the New Jersey Devils 3-1 on Tuesday for a 2-0 lead in their first-round playoff series.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Frederik Andersen made 25 saves, and the Carolina Hurricanes extended their lead in the Eastern Conference First Round with a 3-1 win against the New Jersey Devils in Game 2 at Lenovo Center on Tuesday. Game 3 of the best-of-7 series will be at New Jersey on Friday (8 p.m. ET; TBS, MAX, FDSNSO, MSGSN, SN360, TVAS2).

New Jersey put forth a respectable effort given a shorthanded roster and a stingy opponent, but it wasn't enough.
