RALEIGH, N.C. — Ten minutes into the third period, in the words of Rod Brind’Amour, nothing was going on.The Vegas Golden Knights’ stubborn, suffocating play in their own zone made it nearly impossible to get bodies and pucks to the net. Vegas looked as though it had removed the soul from the usually fast, feisty and relentless Carolina Hurricanes.The Canes looked beyond frustrated. Lost as can be.Somebody needed to make a play. Somebody needed to step up. Trailing 2-0 in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final on Thursday, they were in dire straits of falling behind 2-0 in the series.So, as he has done so often in these playoffs, the Hurricanes’ smallest player delivered.Like a terrier on a bone, Logan Stankoven, giving up several inches and plenty of pounds to Rasmus Andersson, hounded the Vegas defenseman below the goal line, won a puck battle he had no business winning, ripped the puck free and turned a harmless possession into a momentum-changing goal that ignited Carolina’s third-period comeback and perhaps saved the Hurricanes’ Stanley Cup hopes.When asked how the heck the 5-foot-8 Stankoven keeps making plays like that, how he keeps winning these puck battles against much bigger men, how he continues to score huge goals — a team-leading 10 in all — this postseason, the Hurricanes’ coach took his right hand and tapped the left side of his chest in dramatic fashion.“Can’t measure that stuff,” Brind’Amour said after Carolina’s 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights evened this Stanley Cup Final at 1-1. “He just keeps doing it … night in and night out and determination — all that stuff, it’s pretty amazing.”Suddenly, Vegas’ lead was cut in half. Just over two minutes later, the game was tied after another couple of individual efforts, first by William Carrier managing to stay onside while winning a puck battle with Jeremy Lauzon, falling to the ice and still somehow sliding the puck over to fellow fourth-liner Mark Jankowski.
