Friday night’s double-overtime victory doesn’t mean the New Jersey Devils will win this series. It doesn’t even mean they’ll reach Game 6. They are still the heavy underdogs and trailing 2-1 against a Carolina Hurricanes team that is healthier and has more recent playoff success.

The New Jersey Devils needed a win in Game 3 against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Devils saw Jonas Siegenthaler return to the lineup after spending nearly three months away due to injury. He certainly played well in this contest.

Jordan Martinook scored a go-ahead shorthanded goal in the second period to help the Carolina Hurricanes beat the New Jersey Devils 3-1 on Tuesday night for a 2-0 lead in their first-round playoff series.
