After a crushing double-overtime loss in Game 2, the Carolina Hurricanes look to gain ground in their Eastern Conference semifinal series when they host the New York Rangers in Game 3 on Thursday in Raleigh, N.C. The Rangers hold a 2-0 lead in the series, and a victory Thursday sets up a potential sweep in Game 4 on Saturday in Raleigh. New York holds a perfect 6-0 record this postseason, yet the Hurricanes were seemingly close to ending the unbeaten run for much of Game 2. Carolina held a 2-1 lead after the first period and a 3-2 lead after the second.
