Hurricanes vs. Canadiens | NHL Playoff Highlights | Game 3 | May 25, 2026

Game three underway as Keiondre Miller just to know what's to clear. Miller's shot, blocked from the side by Dobesh. Now gets remaining on the penalty puck. Shoots through a screen. There's Texier, keeps it in. Suzuki says, I'm just going to get it to the net. And now there's chaos because of the shot blocked by Miller. The D of Carolina right now are getting their looks offensively. Montreal has to find a way to... You just talked about it, Eddie. Carolina D, and it's Gassus-Behr who gives the Hurricanes the lead in game three. That was just a matter of time. And that's how they've gotten off to such a terrific start. Looked like the Canadians were fine here as once Jankowski lost his edge. And then the hard work. Robinson to Jankowski, and here comes Gassus-Behr. Woosh, I love the read by Gassus-Behr. Instead of staying out near the blue line, he trips in about 15 or 20 feet and is rewarded. Yeah, and you can see that the Canadians have swarmed the one side of the ice. Set ahead by Suzuki. He's got despair to it. Suzuki on the right side. And across! Slavkovski off the side of the cage. Here's that pass from Alexander Carrier. The skate of Slavkovski on the outside of the goalpost. He should catch the puck along. Alex Duhook starts it. He gets support from Jake Evans. Here comes Demidov. And then a breakdown defensively. Matheson wide open and he goes top shelf. I'm not sure where Jordan Martinuk was going, Boosh. Prevented the pass from going from low to high. But the Canadians make them pay by going to work below the goal line. And it's a good job by Demidov to beat. Pass across to Miller. They score! 2-1 Carolina! As the Hurricanes come right back. And Taylor Hall scores his first goal of the series. Well, Keyandre Miller gets aggressive as Blake just throws his puck into an area and a foot brace. One! By Miller, the D-man. And Carolina responds. Well, you mentioned it as Omo got a spare earlier in the game, right, being active. Almost feels like a set play. For Hussle to eliminate the icing. He won his family cup with Colorado back in 22. Smashed the golf! Stopped by Dobish. What a stop. That is huge. What area of the ice could he get a clean clear and he did. A look at the Geico players on the ice. Here's Keyandre Miller. Cutting wide on Matheson. Dobish had a good idea. Puck knocked out of the air by Matheson. Played by Taylor Hall. Hall into the slot, broken up by Matheson. Played by Blake. Down to 15 seconds remaining in the period. Carolina on the power play. Puck is loose after the left back. Stopped by Dobish. Now Miller with it. Mazzucchi with the puck. Out to the point. Gould kept it in the zone for Caulfield. Caulfield shoots. Knocked out by Anderson. Rebound attempts. Anderson covers. Caulfield gets a really good look from about 20 feet out. Strobel the defenseman. Carolina had something going there. Offensively. Not only end up in a penalty box but play a scoring opportunity. Here's Hutchins for Caulfield. Puck controls Hutchins. Scores! Giving and going. Beautifully done by Caulfield and Hudson. So often in these first two plus games when the Canadiens have had a power play they try to... Here's Taylor Hall. Now Blake trying to come to the inside. No helmet for Gould. Stopped by Dobish. You see players in certain situations they just hurry up the play. Here is Shvetsnikov. Penalty coming up here. After a terrific play by Shvetsnikov shot blocked. Throws it back to the front of the net. Watch Carrier in front. 45 and red. Create an opportunity. Good work there by Shvetsnikov. How about that initial play Shvetsnikov coming out of the corner. Drivers blocking it off the post. They're certainly not disappointed with their play. They took the game to overtime. 22 to 9. Now 22 to 10. Here's Kovsky. A redirect! Saved by Anderson. A little bit stripped by Martin. Now Gostaspare with Ehlers. Gostaspare cutting to the net. Ehlers gets it to him and a save! Another redirect by Dobish. Dropping it back for Jarvis. Fematheson. Jarvis cuts to the net. Jarvis centering pass and a save by Dobish. A cross for Strobel. Dobson with it out at the right point. Allows Dobson to jump into the play. He tries to move this puck back door and as you mentioned Kenny Ehlers bakes in off of him and into the back of the net. And now we have a huddle up of the officials. Carolina is challenging to play for offside prior to the goal. You see White right there and he doesn't have possession just yet. After Carolina's coach has challenged Dobson to play we're determined to be offside. We have no goal. Now Jarvis over for Carolina shoved by Strobel. Humps whipped in deep for Ajo. Walker was calling for the puck and a save by Dobish. And now Martina backhands the puck out. Played by Ajo. Dobish looking for the puck. It's underneath the Montreal goaltender. Trying to find where that puck is. What a stop. Otexia works the puck back out to Matheson. Matheson shooting off the post. I don't know if there was a lot of traffic on Anderson on this shot. I mean maybe the screen up top. Hudson circles back. Three of the four goals tonight scored by defensemen. Now the lead pass Suzuki. The side of the net. This one here Matheson up top. Ball fields pass picked off by Jarvis. It is almost at seven guys on the ice. Kostikov looking for Ajo but he was headed the other way. Here's Suzuki once again. Now Slavkovski. Puck comes out to Matheson. He spins. Matheson shoots. I think they don't want off the park. Puck comes out to the point. Matheson poked away from him. Jarvis with it. Here's Ajo. Sebastian Ajo waits. Back for Chatfield. Oh the save by Dobish. Chatfield joins the rush and this is a great opportunity that Dobish is able to get to the top of the blue paint and really give nothing to shoot at. What a save with that right shot. Maintains control of the puck. Svestakov cross ice. Jarvis. Back out. Shot by Svestakov. Score! The Carolina Hurricanes take game three. Their second consecutive overtime victory. Svestakov the shot. Ajo was setting up in front of Dobish. Fresh players on the ice for Carolina. Jarvis. Svestakov the screen in front.
