The Carolina Hurricanes had an opportunity to extend their series lead to 3-0 in their Game 3 matchup against the New Jersey Devils. Unfortunately, the Hurricanes fell short in their attempt to achieve this, as they lost to the Devils by a 3-2 final score in double overtime. With this, the Devils now have the chance to tie the series back up at home in Game 4.
The Hurricanes showed heart in this contest, however. After Devils forward Dawson Mercer made it a 2-0 score in the third period, Hurricanes forward Seth Jarvis and Sebastian Aho each scored goals to tie it up and force overtime. Yet, the Hurricanes could not beat Devils goalie Jacob Markstrom in overtime before Devils defenseman Simon Nemec scored the overtime winner.
While this was a tough way to lose, there is no question that the Hurricanes are still in a good spot right now. The Hurricanes still have the advantage in the series and can extend their lead to 3-1 with a victory in Game 4. That would be massive for the Hurricanes, as it is never easy for teams to come back from 3-1 deficits.
The Hurricanes will now be looking to pick up a much-needed win in Game 4. If they lose, it would undoubtedly make things more stressful for the Hurricanes. We will need to wait and see if they can secure a victory against the Devils from here.
