The New Jersey Devils had the top special teams units in the NHL this season. Things haven't worked out so well in the playoffs, and they are now one loss away from elimination. The Devils were third on the power play at a franchise-record 28.

Frederik Andersen left the game after the Devils’ Timo Meier ran into him in the second period, but the Hurricanes survived and took a 3-1 series lead behind Andrei Svechnikov’s hat trick.

The New Jersey Devils will be missing half of their regular top six defensemen as they take on the Hurricanes for game four tonight. Injuries are an unfortunate reality in the NHL.
