Carolina Hurricanes Have Golden Opportunity In Game 3

The Carolina Hurricanes have had a great start to their first-round series against the New Jersey Devils. After defeating the Devils 4-1 in Game 1, the Hurricanes followed that up with a 3-1 win in Game 2. With this, the Canes sport a notable 2-0 series lead over the Devils.

The Hurricanes will be looking to take advantage of the golden opportunity in front of them in Game 3. If the Hurricanes can defeat the Devils on the road, they would have a commanding 3-0 series lead and only be another step closer to moving on to the second round.

It is incredibly rare for NHL teams to come back from 3-0 deficits in the post-season, so it would be massive if the Hurricanes defeated the Devils in Game 3. Only four teams in NHL history have successfully overcome a 3-0 deficit: the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs, the 1975 New York Islanders, the 2010 Philadelphia Flyers, and the 2014 Los Angeles Kings.

If the Hurricanes do not win Game 3, they would at least still have a 2-1 series lead. However, this would open the door for the Devils to potentially tie the series up at home in Game 4, so Game 3 carries great value for Carolina.

It will be very interesting to see if the Hurricanes can pick up a victory in Game 3 from here. If they take advantage of their massive opportunity and pick up a win, they would put a real stranglehold on the series.
