Tonight, the Carolina Hurricanes have an opportunity to do something that they’ve never done - sweep a playoff series.
Thanks to a pair of road wins and a dominant third period in game three at PNC Arena, the Canes are up 3-0 on the New York Islanders, and a win tonight will send the Isles back to New York for the summer.
Carolina is well aware of how difficult it will be to close out the series. There needs to be desperation in their game from the start, and they have to make sure that they don’t give New York even a glimpse of hope that they can overcome a 3-0 deficit.
