Carolina will put it all out on the ice tonight in this must-win situation, trailing 2-0 in the series. The good news for the Hurricanes is they're getting decent goaltending from Alex Nedeljkovic, who has a 2.18 goals-against average in eight postseason games, but the Hurricanes obviously need to start capitalizing on the many shots they have been firing at Andrei Vasilevskiy. The Hurricanes outshot the Lightning 32-15 in Game 2 to no avail. Carolina is 22-8 its past 30 games after allowing two or fewer goals, and 8-3 after scoring two or less. And as well as Nedeljkovic has been playing, the Hurricanes could shake up things by starting Petr Mrazek, who hasn't played in more than three weeks, but was 6-2-2 this season with a 2.06 GAA. Take the Hurricanes on the puck line.

1.5 units on Carolina +1.5 goals -185 (puckline) (risk 1.5 to return 2.31)
