Carolina coach Rob Brind'Amour decided to change goaltenders after Alex Nedeljkovic had started the first eight games of the playoffs just to shake things up and it worked as the Hurricanes came through with a 3-2 overtime victory in Game 3. Petr Mrazek had 35 saves and Jordan Staal scored on a power play at 5:57 of the extra period. Mrazek now is 7-2-3 with a 2.04 goals-against average and .925 save percentage in limited action this season. Tampa Bay has scored only six goals in the first three games and the Hurricanes are 23-8 their past 31 games after allowing two or fewer goals their previous game and they are 19-9 following a win. The road team has won the last four meetings, including the first three of this series. The OVER is 6-2-1 in Carolina's past nine road games and 4-1 OVER in the Lightning's last five home games. The Hurricanes finally got over the stigma of not being able to score first in a game. Play the Hurricanes on the puck line and the OVER.
