Hurricanes, Canadiens take 1-1 series in the Eastern Conference Final to Canada for Monday's Game 3‎

Rod Brind'Amour didn't see a need to juggle his lineup or massively adjust the scheme after an ugly first period cost the Carolina Hurricanes any chance to win their Eastern Conference Final opener. Following that approach got the Eastern Conference's top seed back into their series against the Montreal Canadiens as play moves to Canada for Monday's Game 3. The Canadiens won Game 1 by jumping on a team coming off an 11-day break — the longest wait to start a series in more than a century — scoring four goals in the opening 11 1/2 minutes.
