The New Jersey Devils scored eight goals to rout the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 3 after falling in Games 1 and 2 on the road. Jack Hughes tallied two of the goals.
Damon Severson of the New Jersey Devils celebrates his goal with teammates during the second period of Game 3 in the second round of the playoffs against the Carolina Hurricanes at Prudential Center on May 7, 2023, in Newark, New Jersey.
Hughes then found the back of the net after an odd-man rush by the Devils halfway through the period that resulted in a top-shelf snipe from his left-handed stick. It was Hughes’ fourth of the playoffs.And just minutes later on a short-handed opportunity, Michael McLeod once again found himself with a goal on assists from captain Nico Hischier and John Marino. He scored short-handed in Game 7 against the New York Rangers as well.
Sebastian Aho of the Hurricanes quickly responded to finally get Carolina on the board with his fifth goal, but Damon Severson would get that goal back later in the second when he rushed to the net and picked out the top left shelf under the bar. After Jordan Martinook scored on a penalty shot, the second period clock would hit zero with the Devils still in a commanding position at 5-2, but it clearly wasn’t enough.Miles Wood, Jack Hughes and Ondrej Palat tallied a goal in the third period, while Jordan Staal and Seth Jarvis also got on the board with short-handed goals apiece.
