The Devils have already come back from one 2-0 deficit to win a playoff series, so why not another?
That was the prevailing question on Sunday afternoon in Newark, as the Devils announced themselves in Game 3 against the Hurricanes, playing a relentless 60 minutes of hockey on their way to an 8-4 demolition that pulled their deficit in the series back to 2-1 and delivered a message: New Jersey will be no easy out.
This was the polar opposite of the first two games in Raleigh, which, like the first two games against the Rangers, saw the Devils get blown to smithereens by an opponent that looked more experienced and superior.

It took just 53 seconds of play in the second period for Hischier to finish a feed to the crease from Jesper Bratt, prompting Rod Brind’Amour to remove Andersen for Pyotr Kochetkov, Anderson having allowed four goals on 12 shots.
