The toughest game to win is the last one, and that mantra held true for the Carolina Hurricanes in game three of their best-of-five series with the New York Rangers on Tuesday night in Toronto.
A horrid start could have derailed the Canes, but simply put, it didn’t. A game-stealing performance from James Reimer and superstar moments from Sebastian Aho led the way en route to a rousing 4-1 Hurricanes win that swept the Rangers right out of Stanley Cup playoff contention.
The Rangers played with a very clear sense of desperation in the first period.
