RALEIGH, N.C. – Bo Horvat scored his second goal with 1:35 left in overtime and the Vancouver Canucks beat the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 on Friday night.

Carolina's John-Michael Liles made it 2-2 with 2:10 left in the third period. Kris Versteeg also scored for the Hurricanes, and Cam Ward made 19 saves.
