The Carolina Hurricanes have taken a commanding lead in their series with the New York Islanders. Only four teams in NHL history have overcome a 3-0 deficit, so the Hurricanes are feeling good about their chances of advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals. In the other game on Wednesday, the Dallas Stars tied their series with the St. Louis Blues, in a series that looks destined to go seven.

Carolina has been fantastic on defense throughout its series with the New York Islanders. The Hurricanes have allowed a total of three goals through three games, and the Isles are searching for answers at this point.

The Dallas Stars have tied their series with the St. Louis Blues after four straight goals in a span of about 26 minutes. Tyler Seguin played fantastic and led the way with two assists for the home team.

It looks a little like the Zapruder Film with the high camera angle, but there is no doubt that Jordan Binnington is starting to get a little frustrated. The rookie has looked good for most of the postseason, yet he did not play well last night and his slash on fellow goaltender Ben Bishop at the end of the second period has been discussed ad nauseam today.

It’s been a rough week for the Ottawa Senators. The Simpsons poked fun at the state of the worst team in the league last Sunday, and there have been rumors swirling around the fate of the franchise. Gary Bettman quashed those rumors and insisted the team won’t be on the move Wednesday afternoon.
