Jack Hughes, Devils' Blowout of Hurricanes Has Fans Ready for Another Series Rally

For the second series in a row, the New Jersey Devils have mounted a Game 3 comeback.

After being crushed by the Carolina Hurricanes for two straight games in Raleigh, Jack Hughes' four points helped the Devils rebound with a dominant 8-4 win Prudential Center on Sunday afternoon.

The Canes still lead the second-round series 2-1.

The Devils scored three goals in the first period, and Nico Hischier added a fourth 53 seconds into the next frame to chase Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen.

It was an abrupt change from Games 1 and 2, during which New Jersey struggled to keep up with Carolina as the Canes out-skated, out-hit and outscored the Devils 11-2.
