Hurricanes down 3-0 to Penguins
The Carolina Hurricanes pulled off two straight upsets to reach the Eastern Conference Finals, but they will need a miracle to keep that streak alive and reach the Stanley Cup Finals.
The Hurricanes are down 3-0 in the series with the suddenly scorching Pittsburgh Penguins and are on the brink of elimination heading into Game 4.
The good news is that the Hurricanes will get the chance to stave off elimination before the home crowd, but with the way the Penguins are playing, it really might not matter.
Carolina lost Game 1, 3-2, and outplayed Pittsburgh in the third period on their home ice. However, they have been thoroughly outplayed since period 2 of Game 2 and are in serious trouble.
The Hurricanes will need a big game from goaltender Cam Ward in Game 4 to keep the series alive.
